Question

Name the process that allows more reactive metals to be obtained from their ores

Answer 1

The process of obtaining metals from their ores is called metallurgy . The process employed in getting the ore depends on the nature of the ore and the impurities present in it.

Answer 2

The ore in which they are found depends on their reactivity. For example,reactive metals such as aluminium are extracted by electrolysis, while a less-reactive metal such as iron may be extracted by reduction with carbon or carbon monoxide
