What to Focus On

  • Oxygen is the most abundant element in earth’s crust.
  • Metals, non-metals and metalloids are the three broad groups of elements.
  • Metals form positive ions by losing electrons.

  • Ores are grouped as native, sulphide, oxidised and halide ores.
  • Gangue or matrix means impurities present with ores.
  • Silica is the most common gangue component.

  • Haematite is the main ore of iron.
  • Bauxite is the chief ore of aluminium.
  • Bauxite contains about 56% Al2O3.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All minerals are ores.

Calcination and roasting mean the same thing.

Leaching, roasting, and calcination are all just purification methods.
