know the history or relevance of each kind. One essential element is copper. It should first be noted that the history of copper is vast. There is some scientific evidence
to demonstrate that people have been utilizing copper for some 11 thousand years ("Its Elemental - The Element Copper," 2006). One recent find is that in Iraq there are copper
beads which are thought to be around 10 thousand years old (Emsley, 2001). The name "copper" originated from the island of Cyprus, where it is thought that the
people of early Rome obtained the element ("Its Elemental - The Element Copper," 2006). Today, copper ore is found in various locations throughout the world, but most remarkably in Canada,
the United States, Chile, Zaire, Zambia and Peru ("Its Elemental - The Element Copper," 2006). Copper is an element found on the periodic table. It is found above sliver (Ag)
and just below sliver is gold (Au); these three metals have very similar properties (Stewart, 2005). As a substance it has an important role in chemistry. It is an orange-gold
metal and is considered to fall into group 11 (Emsley, 2001). It is part of a group known as coinage metals (Emsley, 2001). Indeed, in combination with other ingredients, coins
are made from copper. It is rust resistant as it resists both air and water (Emsley, 2001). Today, copper is used in the electrical industry ("Its Elemental - The Element
Copper," 2006). Many are familiar with the uses of copper wire. In fact, it is considered to be perfect for electrical wiring because it is extremely conductive (Emsley, 2001).
Copper is also used in many forms because it is both a conductor of electricity and is resistant to corrosion ("Its Elemental - The Element Copper," 2006). The copper penny
