Copper Nuggets: Composition, Composition & Trace Elements
A copper nugget is made out of copper, which is a chemical element with the symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It's a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity.
While it's primarily copper, it may contain small traces of other elements like:
* Silver
* Gold
* Iron
* Other metals
These trace elements can vary depending on where the copper nugget was formed.
