Copper

  • Chapter
Trace Elements in the Terrestrial Environment

Abstract

Copper (atomic no. 29), one of the most important metals to man, is reddish colored, takes on a bright metallic luster, and is malleable, ductile, and a good conductor of heat and electricity (second only to silver in electrical conductivity). It belongs to Group I-B of the periodic table, has an atomic weight of 63.546, a melting point of 1,083°C, and specific gravity of 8.96. It consists of two natural isotopes: 63Cu and 65Cu with relative abundances of 69.09% and 30.91%, respectively. The radioactive isotope, 64Cu, with a halflife of 12.8 hours, is the most suitable for tracer work.
