The melting point of copper is higher than that of zinc because
Answer»
copper has a BCC structure the ATOMICVOLUME of copper is higher the J-ELECTRONS of copper are involved in metallic bonding the s as well as J-electrons of copper are involved in metallic bonding.
Solution :In case of copper d - electrons are involved in metallic boilding. Hence, m.pt. of Cu is higher than that of Zn.
