Which was the first metal to be used by man
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Copper
💡 Explanation:
Copper was the first metal used by humans because it occurs naturally in pure form (native copper) and has a relatively low melting point, making it easier to work with than other metals. Bronze came later as an alloy of copper and tin. Iron required even higher temperatures and more sophisticated technology to smelt.
