Melting Point of Copper
Copper is a reddish brown mineral which has been used for thousands of years by many cultures. The metal is closely related with silver and gold, with many properties being shared among these metals. The melting point of copper is 1981.4 degrees in fahrenheit. Copper is mainly used for electrical conductors, jewelry, coins and plumbing. You can obtain copper from minerals such as chalcopyrite, coveline and chalcosine. For more information you can visit this website http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-copper.htm.

As we saw at the beginning of this article, copper is Atomic Number 29, that is, an atom of copper has 29 protons. The Atomic Weight is 63.54. The Atomic Symbol is Cu. The melting point of copper is 1083.4 degrees Centigrade. Liquid copper boils at 2567 degrees Centigrade.

As we can see from above, there is a huge difference between the melting point of zinc and copper. So much of a difference that a zinc penny can be melted in a Bunsen burner but a copper penny cannot. To try this, we recommend clamping the penny with an alligator clip and holding that with pliers or Vise Grips.

The Element Copper; [Click for Isotope Data] Boiling Point: 2835 K (2562°C or 4644°F) Archaeological evidence suggests that people have been using copper for at least 11,000 years. Relatively easy to mine and refine, people discovered methods for extracting copper from its ores at least 7,000 years ago.
