Best Answer

Generally an ore is a rock composed of various minerals. A crystal is normally a pure or nearly pure variety of a mineral. Ores are refined to extract one or more specific minerals which exist in the rock. The less desirable minerals are considered waste.

What two processes are used to extract metals?

There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are: Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
