Why does copper have a high melting point?

Sagot :

copper has a high melting point - basically put - is because the bond of copper atoms (held together by electro statical attraction) to themselves is so strong, only a very high temerature can break the bond.
because of its strong metallic bonds. The bonds between these two atoms are very hard to break. A lot of energy is used to separate them.
