Copper

 

  • Description of elements:  


  • Copper / Cu transition metal   [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s¹


  • In the body


  • Copper is an essential nutrient for the body. Together with iron, it enables the body to form red blood cells. It helps maintain healthy bones, blood vessels, nerves, and immune function, and it contributes to iron absorption. Sufficient copper in the diet may help prevent cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, too.


  • In the industry


  • Most copper is used in electrical equipment such as wiring and motors. This is because it conducts both heat and electricity very well, and can be drawn into wires. It also has uses in construction

  Description of elements:    Iron / Fe transition metal    [Ar] 3d6 4s2 In the body Iron  is a mineral that the  body  needs for growth and development. Your  body  uses  iron  to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts  of the body , and myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. Your  body  also needs  iron  to make some hormones. I n de industry Iron  Ore is the most integral participant initiating the Steel  manufacturing  process. It is therefore extremely critical to select the source of  Iron  ore, extraction process, quality checks, and purification of this raw material.

  Description of elements:    aluminium / Al metal  [Ne] 3s² 3p¹ In the human body A small amount of the  aluminum  you breathe will enter your  body  through your lungs. A very small amount of the  aluminum  in food or water will enter your  body  through the digestive tract. An extremely small amount of the  aluminum  found in antacids will be absorbed.                In the industry Aluminum is a versatile material integral to modern life. The metal is found in everything from soda cans to cell phones to window frames to airplanes. The process for making the aluminum that goes into these products is found in the pages within the Industries section. Details about end use products are found in the Product Markets section. To learn more about each stage of the aluminum process, click on the icons below.

Conclusions

  CONCLUSIONS ALISSON  This work was a little easy, because this three elements (Copper, iron and aluminum) are elements that we use very often, are elements that we saw almost all days, they are easily to identify and manipulated them. The practice was interesting and like the other ones, we learned new things. ANA CECILIA For this project, i found the investigation of this elements really interesting. We have all heard of them but not about their characteristics. I hope we see more about this elements because now i’m more informed about them and i will find them easier to classify and identify them. MYRNA  For this investigations i discover to many tools to make this blog/ web site. We investigate to about the tree elements we choose and we have to much fun investigate them. I'm more informed about this and i want to learn more about it ANA MARCELA during this third stage, i learned about the elements of copper, iron, and aluminium, these elements are very important and...
