About Copper
Copper is a chemical element , a reddish, extremely ductile metal of Group 11 (Ib) of the periodic table that is an unusually good conductor of electricity and heat.
Copper is found in the free metallic state in nature.
Shiny, reddish copper was the first metal manipulated by humans, and it remains an important metal in industry today.
Aside from gold, copper is the only metal on the periodic table whose coloring isn't naturally silver or gray.
Copper turns green because of an oxidation reaction; that is, it loses electrons when it's exposed to water and air.
This oxidation reaction is the reason the copper-plated Statue of Liberty is green rather than orange-red.
