答案
False. The most reactive metals are at the top of the reactivity series.
闪卡 13
问题
What determines the extraction method for a metal?
查看答案
答案
The position of the metal on the reactivity series determines the extraction method.
闪卡 14
问题
Which metals must be extracted by electrolysis?
查看答案
答案
Metals that must be extracted by electrolysis are higher up the reactivity series (above carbon) and include aluminum, sodium, potassium, calcium, lithium and magnesium.

查看答案
答案
False. Iron is extracted by reduction / in the blast furnace.
闪卡 16
问题
What is the extraction method for metals below carbon in the reactivity series?
查看答案
答案
Metals below carbon in the reactivity series are extracted by heating / reduction with carbon.
闪卡 17
问题

查看答案
答案
The metal most commonly extracted in a blast furnace is iron.
闪卡 18
问题
True or False? The higher a metal is on the reactivity series, the more resistant it is to oxidation.
查看答案
答案
False. Metals higher up are less resistant to oxidation than the metals placed lower down which are more resistant to oxidation.
