copper
Element twenty-nine
Copper is a reddish-brown metallic element, valued since ancient times for conducting heat and electricity.
Copper wire runs through buildings; copper pipes carry water.
The color copper describes that distinctive brownish-red.
Coppers are copper coins or British slang for police officers—from the verb cop, to catch.
The old pennies were solid copper.
