please help me find out how copper get its symbol thanks.
from the latin Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (Latin: cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a ductile metal with an excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Copper is rather supple in its pure state and (when fresh) has a pinkish or peachy color, which (besides gold) is unusual for metals, which are usually silvery or grayish. It is used as a thermal conductor, an electrical conductor, a building material, and a constituent of various metal alloys. what is #!@#!@#!#!!!!!!? ? .
As well as what Billrussel writes, it had to be different from carbon (C). Don't worry, Bill, he has to swear sometime. He's frustrated.
