1. Alloys are defined as homogeneous mixtures of two or more elements or metal and non metal. An alloy is formed by melting the metal and then it dissolves in the other elements. For example, steel is an example of alloy iron and carbon.

  3. Metals from its oxide obtained from reduction. Metal oxide is reduced by this process, metal oxides are reduced by using suitable reducing agents such as carbon or by highly reactive metals to displace the metals from their oxides.

    Metals from its oxide obtained from reduction. Metal oxide is reduced by this process, metal oxides are reduced by using suitable reducing agents such as carbon or by highly reactive metals to displace the metals from their oxides.

    Example, On treating zinc oxide with carbon it reduces to metallic zinc.

    Manganese dioxide is reduced to manganese when treated with aluminium powder, so aluminium displaces manganese from its oxide.

    Oxides of more reactive metals are reduced by electrolysis.

  5. (i) Mineral: Minerals are the substances that are rich in particular metals and their composition is fixed. (ii) Ore: Minerals from which particular metals can be extracted profitably are known as ores. (iii) Gangue: The impurities like sand, silt, soil, gravel, etc. present in the ore are called gaRead more
