Key Topics to Revise
1
Occurrence of Metals in Nature
- The earth's crust is the main source of metals.
- Sea water contains soluble salts such as sodium chloride and magnesium chloride.
- Some metals like gold, silver, and copper occur in free or native state because they are least reactive.
2
Concentration or Dressing of Ore
- Concentration or dressing means removing as much unwanted rocky material as possible from the ore.
- The unwanted impurities are called gangue.
- Physical methods used for concentration depend on differences between ore and gangue properties.
3
Activity Series and Extraction Based on Reactivity
- Arrangement of metals in decreasing order of reactivity is called activity series.
- The activity series helps decide the method of extraction.
- High reactivity metals are potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminium.
4
Extraction of Metals
- Extraction of metals from ores has three stages: concentration, extraction of crude metal, and refining.
- For metals at the top of the activity series, electrolysis of fused compounds is used.
- For sodium, fused sodium chloride is electrolysed using steel cathode and graphite anode.
