Give reasons why copper is used to make hot water nature. tanks and not steel (an alloy of iron). They are electro positive They are electro negative Ans. Copper is used in making hot water tanks and not steel in nature. They lose in nature. They gain (an alloy of iron) because copper does not react with electrons readily and electrons readily and either water or steam while iron reacts with steams forms a positive ion. forms negative ions. thus it will corrode the tank.
