What element is represented by the symbol Cu?

Copper
Calcium
Cobalt
Potassium

The correct answer is: Copper

The symbol Cu represents the element Copper on the periodic table. This designation comes from the Latin word "cuprum," which is why the symbol does not align with the first letter of its English name. Copper is a highly conductive metal known for its use in electrical wiring, plumbing, and various alloys. It has properties such as malleability and ductility, making it versatile in industrial applications. Understanding elemental symbols is essential for the study of chemistry, especially when dealing with chemical reactions, bonding, and material properties.
