Answer:
Explanation:Pure copper cannot be galvanized because there is no iron for the zinc to metallurgically react with. Without a metallurgical reaction, a galvanized coating cannot develop. Some steel chemistries with small amounts of copper can be successfully galvanized

Zinc is more reactive than iron and it protects iron frm corrosion coz wen 02 in air reacts wid the surface of zinc, zinc oxide is formed and this protects the zinc frm further attack..
Iron is not galvanized with copper coz Cu is less reactive than zinc and will not have any effect..
hope it helps
