COPPER
What is
copper? Copper is a soft, malleable, and highly conductive metal so it has a lot of industrial uses. Two radioactive isotopes
of copper: Copper-64, and Copper-67 have important medical uses, and two copper compounds: copper sulfate (CuS), and
copper acetate [Cu2O(C2H3O2)2] have numberous industrial and farm applications. Copper is the world's third
most widely used metal. Copper is often considered an accurate indicator of economic growth. An economic expansion is usually
present or beginning if demand for copper is increasing.
