OverviewAI-generated

Copper is a metal with the element symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It has a mass of 63.546 and a density of 8.94. The substance is made from materials including cuprite, chrysocolla, dioptase, and enargite. Its melting point is 1981 and its boiling point is 4703. Copper has a thermal conductivity of 413 and an electronegativity of 1.9. It is named after Cyprus.

The element was discovered or invented in 7000 BCE. It is classified as a medication and a small molecule with the IUPAC name copper. It has been approved for indications including bacterial vaginosis, glioblastoma multiforme, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and Alzheimer disease. The first approval occurred in 1982. It is administered via topical routes. The time-weighted average exposure limit is 1, and the immediately dangerous to life or health level is 100.
