Copper is a highly conductive metal known for its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, making it essential in electrical wiring and electronic components. It is also resistant to corrosion and has antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for plumbing and architectural applications. With its malleability and ductility, copper can be easily shaped into various forms, including sheets, wires, and tubes. Additionally, copper alloys, such as bronze and brass, enhance its properties for specialized applications in industries ranging from construction to electronics.
