ELEMENTS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE, COPPER

Copper is the 29th element of the periodic table, and it's a pretty cool element.
It is used a lot in electrical wiring, coins, jewelry and computer chips (Note copper in computer chips is now rare). Copper was also used thousands of years ago to make swords and other items. It's atomic weight is 63.546 and it turns to liquid at 1000 degrees. So there you have it. One of the pretty cool
elements explained in a kind of easy way. (opps did i forget to mention that copper can also be pretty poisonous but you need to eat a lot to die!) Next time we will be looking at Ununoctium (Lol?) a very peculiar element, it doesn't exist on Earth but tune in anyway.

Adios for now
THE NERD
