Answer» The answers are as follows:Explanation: 1. it is a MIXTURE of copper carbonate and copper hydroxide.2.Basic3. Hydrogen 4.basic5. METALS are used for ringing BELLS because they are sonorous.6. phosphorous is kept under water because it is a very reactive NON metal and when exposed to air, catches fire faster. so, to prevent ignition it is stored in water.7. it is so because iron is more reactive than copper.
