Copper
Return To Glossary
Copper is a soft, salmon-pink coloured metal, commonly used for water piping. It is extremely conductive and it is alloyed with zinc to make brass, and with tin and other metals to make bronze. Copper is one of the seven 'metals of antiquity', along with gold, silver, tin, lead, iron and mercury. These were the metals that humans were known to have used in prehistoric times.
