1. An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and a non-metal. For example: • Stainless steel is an alloy of Nickel and Chromium. • Amalgam is an alloy of Mercury. • Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc. • Bronze is an alloy of Copper and Tin. • Solder is an alloy of Lead and TRead more

  3. •Metals low in the activity series are very unreactive. The oxides of these metals can be reduced to metals by heating alone. 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O(g) •The metals in the middle of the activity series such as iron, zinc, lead, copper, etc., are moderately reactive. These metal oxides are reduced to thRead more

    •Metals low in the activity series are very unreactive. The oxides of these metals can be reduced to metals by heating alone.
    2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O(g)
    •The metals in the middle of the activity series such as iron, zinc, lead, copper, etc., are moderately reactive. These metal oxides are reduced to the corresponding metals by using suitable reducing agents
    ZnO(s) + C(s) → Zn(s) + CO(g)
    •The metals high up in the reactivity series are very reactive. They are separated from their oxides by electrolysis process.

    (i) Mineral The elements or compounds, which occur naturally in the earth’s crust, are known as minerals.
    (ii) Ore
    If minerals contain a very high percentage of a particular metal and the metal can be profitably extracted from it. These minerals are called ores.
    (iii) Gangue
    Ores mined from the earth are usually contaminated with large amounts of impurities such as soil, sand, etc., called gangue.
