Copper objects and ores
Copper objects & ores. Copper (Cu) is a transition metal. It is malleable, ductile and a good conductor of heat and electricity. Copper occurs naturally and as an ore in many minerals, such as malachite (green, lower left). It is used in the electrical industry (wire, centre) and for domestic plumbing (pipe, centre right)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of copper objects and ores, highlighting the versatility and importance of this remarkable transition metal. Copper (Cu) is renowned for its unique properties - it is both malleable and ductile, allowing it to be easily shaped into various forms. Additionally, copper possesses exceptional conductivity when it comes to heat and electricity. In its natural state, copper occurs abundantly as an ore in numerous minerals. One such mineral featured prominently in this image is malachite, recognizable by its vibrant green hue located at the lower left corner. This striking mineral serves as a testament to the beauty that can be found within the world of chemistry. The significance of copper extends far beyond aesthetics; it plays a vital role in multiple industries. In particular, the electrical industry heavily relies on copper due to its excellent conductive properties. The wire positioned at the center of this composition exemplifies how copper facilitates efficient transmission of electrical energy. Furthermore, copper finds extensive use in domestic plumbing applications. The pipe showcased towards the center-right emphasizes how this versatile metal contributes to ensuring reliable water supply systems within our homes. Overall, this visually stunning photograph not only captures the allure of metallic elements but also highlights their practical applications across various fields – from chemistry enthusiasts appreciating natural compounds like malachite to engineers relying on copper's conductivity for essential infrastructure development.
