This question seems to be an essay question from experiment. Different solution of oxidizing agent will have different strength.  Sulfuric acid or H2SO4 is weaker oxidizing agent when compared to nitric acid (HNO3). In this case, if you subtitute the H2SO4 you wouldn't be able to get the same result for the experiment.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Every oxidizing agent has different properties and they are specific for different reagents. Different solution of oxidizing agent will have different strength.

Sulfuric acid or H2SO4 is weaker oxidizing agent when compared to nitric acid (HNO3). so when you use H2SO4 for the oxidizing copper it would not work because copper need strong oxidizing agent.

Although the nucleus of an atom is very important, it is the ___ of the atom that determine its chemical properties
aleksandrvk [35]
<span>Although the nucleus of an atom is very important, it is the electrons of the atom that determine its chemical properties.

Number of electrons of an atoms (the number of electrons in the outermost level mostly) determine the type of the element (whether it is a metal, metalloid or non-metal).
Based on this, the types of bonds that the atom can form (whether ionic or covalent) is determined, the type of reactions that the element can form is known and the elements that can react with it are also know.</span>
