Copper is a single metal, so every copper object has roughly the same properties. Brass, on the other hand, is an alloy of copper, zinc, and often other metals as well. The hundreds of different combinations means there is no single, foolproof way to identify all brass. That said, the color of the brass is usually distinct enough to separate it from copper. | Copper is a single metal, so every copper object has roughly the same properties.
