It could be it has a more stable amount of valence electrons.

Yeah, like Mischif said, but not too sure exactly. I believe it has to do with the number of some atomic makeup, but not sure if its the protons or electrons. Maybe looking at a Periodic Table would help, and see what the corresponding numbers are. hope it helps.

This was my guess but I couldn't find anything really

Ask the teacher!

for the`same reason it is a better conductor of electricity.

It is more dense, its a real alkaline earth metal where as aluminum is not its a semi. simple fact that earth metal Cu > steepies loser like Al.

Freaky, I jus watched the Punk'd episode with him on it.
