Yes metals are found in rocks called ores. Most metals are more reactive and are found combined with other elements in rocks.
What else can I help you with?
Rocks that contain a metal oxide are called ores true or false?
False because an ore is any rock that contians any metal... Best Wishes, Shady Qubaty
What are rocks called that contain metals that can be mined for profit?
They are called ores.
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
What have metals got to do with the periodic table and rocks?
Some rocks contain pure metals like gold silver and copper. These are elements on the periodic table and are called 'native' ores. Other metals like iron,magnesium and zinc are found as metallic oxides in their ores and have to be refined to make the metal. The ores are pounded to dust and reduced by removing the oxygen molecule in the oxide to convert them back to the metallic state. This is done in a furnace.
Can all rocks be referred to as ores?
No, not all rocks can be referred to as ores. Ores are rocks or minerals that contain sufficient quantity of a sought-after material, like metals, that can be extracted and processed for use. So, while all ores are rocks, not all rocks are considered ores.
A mineral with a valuable metal in it is an?
All metals come in a Raw form and are extracted from rocks that are called Ores
Are all metals found in ores?
"No, gold, silver, and platinum are some of the metals which are not ores". Yes, these metals do occur as nuggets of native element, and are dredged, or panned from stream, and river sediments, but there are many sulfides, and oxides of these, and other metals as well. These oxides, and sulfides are the Ore Minerals sought after by prospectors, and mined from in sittu Hard Rock Deposits.
Do metals only come fron ores?
Yes, metals do only come from ores and pure metals also are found in the Earth's crust.
What rocks are gold and silver isolated from?
Gold and silver are typically isolated from ores such as quartz, pyrite, and chalcopyrite, which are commonly found in rocks like granite, schist, and quartzite. These ores contain the precious metals in mineral formations that can be extracted through mining and processing techniques.
Where are most metals found?
Metals are usually found in the Earth's crust, in the form of ores.
Are metals found in the ground?
Yes, metals like iron, copper, and gold are found in the ground as part of ores. These metal ores are mined and then processed to extract the pure metal for various industrial applications.
Which metal ores are found naturally?
unreactive metals, such as gold
