The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not have any official opinion as to what metal ziff is. Ziff is mentioned twice in the Book of Mormon (in Mosiah 11:3 and 11:8). The church's only official doctrine or statement as to what ziff is says "Probably a metal used by the Nephites".
adding alloying elements fills interstitial space in the molecule(between adjacent copper atoms). this increases the strength of the material along with changing other properties.
Bornite is a sulfide mineral, it is an important copper ore mineral and occurs widely in porphyry copper deposits along with the more common chalcopyrite.
Along with their attached rigid uppermost mantle, they are referred to as tectonic plates.
In a copper wire each copper atom has two loosely coupled outer thermal atoms (this is why copper has a plus 2 valence)When an electrical current is passed through the copper wire, the two thermal atoms are pushed onto the next copper atom. Temperature of a copper atom depends on how fast the electrons orbit in the respective copper atoms.Since thermal electrons make up the electric current which flows through the copper wire, the electrons will continue to orbit the copper atoms as they move across, thus travelling along a helical path

Copper was a significant resource in the Bronze Age as. along with tin, copper is a component of bronze.

They used to be. The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Iron Age. Most of the old cultures, Greek, Roman, Egyptian and many others used copper and bronze for their tools. Iron came along, much harder and it became the metal of choice for weapons. Copper is too soft to make an acceptable knife.
Yes, there were bears along the Mormon trail, especially in the mountain areas. Wolves and buffalo stampedes were more common threats though.

Even in its pure form, iron is stronger than copper (although copper doesn't rust the way iron does) and iron is also used in making various kinds of steel which are much stronger than iron, and incomparably stronger than copper. Copper can also be used in alloys which are stronger than pure copper, such as brass and bronze, however, even the strongest copper alloy is much weaker than steel. Copper is much more electrically conductive than steel, and along with its greater flexibility and resistance to chemical corrosion, this makes it much better for wiring than iron or any iron alloy would be. So for each metal, there are particular uses. . Bronze (an alloy of mostly copper with up to 23% tin) is a much stronger metal than iron. This is why during the early iron age, the Roman foot soldiers were issued iron swords but their commanders had bronze swords.
Pennies are bronze colored because for many decades they were in fact made of copper or bronze. Those metals were chosen because they were cheap enough that they could be used in enormous amounts to make low-value coins, along with being hard enough to stand up to a lot of wear.When the price of copper went up in the 1980s the Mint had to choose a cheaper metal to avoid having pennies that were worth more than 1¢ each. Zinc was selected, partly because it's not expensive and partly because the zinc lobby has a lot of influence. Zinc is silvery in color, so to prevent confusion with dimes and to maintain the 200-year tradition of "copper" pennies, the zinc coins are plated with copper so that they look almost like their older bronze cousins.
The Mormon Battalion brought a few women along as laundresses and cooks. Many of these women were the wives of men in the battalion.
Most tribes got along with the Mormon pioneers pretty well, but not all. For a time, there were even missionaries sent out just to teach the Native American people because they got along so well.
