Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Copper (Cu) & Facts, Color, Uses ... 2022

Size of things changes depending on the coefficient of thermal expansion. It's even the case for Copper. Ok, so what is the coefficient of thermal expansion for an atom of Cu?

Note: Learn more about the coefficient of thermal expansion here.

In the case of Copper this thermal coefficient is 16.5 10^-6 K^-1. By the way, did you know there are cool facts about Copper that most don't know? Check this...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Copper (Cu) & Facts, Color, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
