Digging
Hard rock mining
Nitrogen,iron,aluminium,sulphur,copper,magnesium,zinc,etc. are found in the ground.
Strip-mining is the most common method for removing copper ore from the ground. See related questions and links to learn more about strip mining.
In ores. Copper ores are found in various parts of the world. Copper can be found as a metal in the ground. Normally, it is green on the outside. Most copper is not as a metal but in chemical compounds. Chalcopyrite is the most common copper ore. It is a mixture of pyrite and copper sulfide. Copper is found in small amounts in living things. Some mollusks and arthropods have blue blood because they have copper in their blood. Animals such as humans and other mammals have red blood because it contains iron. Copper is purified by electrolysis. Electricity is passed through solutions containing copper compounds, such as copper sulfate - sometimes spelt sulphate. Pure copper forms on the negative electrode.
The expected ground-state electron configuration of copper is ; however, the actual configuration is because a full dsubshell is particularly stable. There are 18 other anomalous elements for which the actual electron configuration is not what would be expected.
Copper is mined from the ground. It is in pretty much all natural soil, though some deposits are richer in copper than others.
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
In the ground really
Copper is an element. It is a natural mineral found in the ground. It is extracted from the ground by mining similar to the mining of gold or iron.
If you mean 2 bare copper wires those are the ground wires. Tie them together and then connect the light fixture ground wire which will be green or bare copper to those ground wires.
If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
As nuggets, on the ground.
# 10 bare copper.
The ground in an electric circuit is the brown copper wire.
#4 bare copper connected to two 8' copper ground rods 6" apart driven into the ground.
No.
Extracting it from the ground.
Black wire to copper screw, white wire to silver screw, bare copper ground wire to green ground screw.
