Copper is a non-magnetic element (atomic number 29, symbol Cu). Its standard atomic weight is 63.546(3)g.mol-1. The valency of copper is 1 and it has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d10 4s1. It has a density of 8.94 g/cm3 and melts at 1084.62° Celsius.
It is a ductile, malleable metal that forms alloys such as bronze (with tin and/or aluminum) and brass (with zinc). It has high thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper salts (e.g. the mineral turquoise), oxides, carbonates, or chlorides often display a greenish hue.
(see related question)
Copper has high thermal and electrical conductivity. Pure copper is rather soft and malleable, and a freshly-exposed surface has a pinkish or peachy color.
Physical properties of copper wire that are independent of the amount of matter include conductivity, resistivity, melting point, and thermal expansion coefficient. These properties remain constant regardless of the quantity of copper wire present.
Chemical properties involve reacting with another substance. IE: burning of magnesium requires oxygen after which it is no longer magnesium. Physical properties do not. IE: metals are malleable, some very malleable, like copper wire can be bent with your hand. BUT it is still copper wire.
They do not have the same set of physical properties. At the very least they have different melting and boiling points, and different densities, and their colors are not identical.
Copper is a reddish-brown metal. Copper is highly ductile, meaning it can be easily drawn into wires. Copper is a good conductor of electricity and heat.
Copper sulfide is a chemical compound with a specific chemical formula (Cu2S), whereas a mixture of copper powder and sulfur would be a physical blend of the two substances with no chemical bonding. The properties of copper sulfide, such as color and reactivity, differ from those of a simple mixture due to the chemical structure and bonding within the compound.
Copper has both chemical and physical properties. Chemical properties refer to how copper reacts with other substances, while physical properties refer to characteristics like its color, density, and conductivity.
The physical properties of copper in cell phones include conduction. It is very malleable and can be molded to whatever shape is needed.
Physical properties of copper wire that are independent of the amount of matter include conductivity, resistivity, melting point, and thermal expansion coefficient. These properties remain constant regardless of the quantity of copper wire present.
Copper is a chemical element, so it is considered a substance with distinct chemical properties, not a physical property. Its physical properties include being a solid at room temperature, having a distinct color and density, while its chemical properties include its ability to react with other substances and form different compounds.
No, copper wire is a physical property of copper. Chemical properties describe how a substance interacts with other substances to form new substances, while physical properties describe the characteristics of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
Chemical properties involve reacting with another substance. IE: burning of magnesium requires oxygen after which it is no longer magnesium. Physical properties do not. IE: metals are malleable, some very malleable, like copper wire can be bent with your hand. BUT it is still copper wire.
The physical properties of copper wire that are independent of the amount of matter include shape, conductivity, density, and melting point. Shape refers to the physical form of the wire, which remains constant regardless of its mass or volume.
The property of copper being a good conductor of electricity is a physical property because it can be observed without changing the chemical composition of copper. It is a characteristic based on the arrangement of electrons in the copper atoms.
what is the answer
Bending a copper wire is a physical change because the copper itself does not undergo a chemical reaction. The arrangement of copper atoms simply changes temporarily when the wire is bent, but the properties of copper remain the same.
They do not have the same set of physical properties. At the very least they have different melting and boiling points, and different densities, and their colors are not identical.
yes, because of its melting point and softness.
