Question:

Is copper scarce or abundant?

I have a project due Monday and I have no idea which copper is scarce or abundant. And if you know the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons it contains tha would a big help to!

Answer:

Copper is a fairly abundant element. It's atomic number is 29, so 29 protons/29 electrons to find out how many neutrons are in a copper molecule, subtract the atomic number of the element from the atomic weight 63.546 - 29 = 34.546, so 34 neutrons.
