  1. Copper has one free conducting electron per atom, in the metallic state. The other 28 electrons remain bound.

    For the number of atoms, compute the mass of the wire and divide it by the mass of one copper atom. You will need to look up the density of copper.

    The mass of one copper atom is
    (63.5 g/mole)/(6.02*10^23 atoms/mole)

    Show your work for further assistance, if needed.
