The first step is to collect samples of metals such as iron, copper, aluminium, magnesium, sodium, lead, zinc, and any other easily available metal.

Metals, in their pure state, exhibit a shining surface, which is referred to as metallic lustre.

The property of being beaten into thin sheets is known as malleability. Gold and silver are highlighted as the most malleable metals in the given activity.

In the electrolytic reduction of metals like sodium, magnesium, and calcium, the metals are deposited at the cathode (negatively charged electrode), while chlorine is liberated at the anode (positively charged electrode).

Metals high up in the reactivity series cannot be obtained by heating with carbon because they have a higher affinity for oxygen than carbon. These metals, including sodium, magnesium, and calcium, are obtained by electrolytic reduction, such as the electrolysis ...
