Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.
The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility. When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.
As it is located at 7s ^2 it will have 2 valence electrons that due to its position in the s orbital it will be prone to losing them to obtain a noble gas configuration.
