      12. <skos:note xml:lang="en">Pure metallic element having the symbol Cu and atomic number 29; a reddish brown, ductile metal that is present in the earth's crust, occurring as a native metal and as ores of sulfide, sulfate and carbonate (azurite, malachite, etc.). It was the first metal used by humans, probably from about 8000 BCE, in the regions of Mesopotamia and India. By about 3800 BCE copper was made into bronze for weapons and knives. Today, copper is one of the most widely used metals because it has high electrical and thermal conductivity, can be easily fabricated, is ductile and polishes well. In moist air, copper forms a protective green film of basic carbonate. Metallic copper combines well with other metals to form alloys, most commonly brass and bronze. Copper and its alloys are used for wire, electrical devices, pipes, cooking vessels, ammunition, ornamental trim, roofing, grillwork, coins, musical instruments, jewelry, and sculptures.</skos:note>

      13. <skos:note xml:lang="es">Úsese para el elemento metálico puro que tiene como símbolo Cu y como número atómico 29; metal rojizo muy maleable y dúctil. Úsese también para este metal procesado y conformado, habitualmente en combinación con otras sustancias, para realizar diversos objetos y materiales.</skos:note>

      14. <skos:note xml:lang="nl">Te gebruiken voor het zuivere metaalelement met het symbool Cu en het atoomnummer 29; het is roodachtig van kleur en is zeer smeedbaar en kneedbaar. Ook te gebruiken voor het metaal wanneer het woirdt bewerkt en gevormd om, meestal in combinatie met andere stoffen, verschillende voorwerpen en materialen te maken.</skos:note>
