Explanation:
Copper is a chemical element with the Cu symbol and the 29th atomic number. A pure copper freshly exposed layer has a pink-orange colour. Copper is used as a heat and electricity conductor, as a construction material and as a part of different metal alloys,
The characteristics of copper are -
- It is maleable, ductile, and an excellent heat and electricity conductor-only silver has greater electrical conductivity than copper.
- Copper surfaces exposed to water become slowly black and brownish.
- When water and air are present, copper can gradually corrode, often seen on roofs and monuments, to form the carbonate verdigris.
