The primary elements would be oxygen and sulfur, forming iron oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium sulfide, etc. Metals also bind with molecules such as silicates (SiO3), sulfates (SO4), or other metal-oxygen compounds, like chromate (Cr2O7).

∙ 15y agoMost metals in ores are oxides because of their contact with the air. So, practically, one element is Oxygen and the other is the metal element itself. One example of such is Iron Oxide. It has to be broken down to its key elements by getting rid of the Oxygen atoms within to make it a purer Iron.

What are metal oars?
Metal ores are metallic elements found in compounds with other elements in nature. These ores are then separated to produce pure metals.
Why do you mine metal ores?
Metal ores are used as resources from which metals may be extracted.
Do metals only come fron ores?
Yes, metals do only come from ores and pure metals also are found in the Earth's crust.
Are transition metals often found in ores?
Quick and simple answer is that metals are solid and therefore are affected by the gravity of the Earth more than gases. Therefore gases are in the air and solids are on the surface or under the surface of the Earth.
Which metals are extracted from their ores by thermal decomposition?

What are metal oars?
Metal ores are metallic elements found in compounds with other elements in nature. These ores are then separated to produce pure metals.
Are metals are found in rocks called ores?
Yes metals are found in rocks called ores. Most metals are more reactive and are found combined with other elements in rocks.
How do you get metal out of ores?
Yes, you do because you need 2 or more elements or minerals to make metals and ores are lots and lots of minerals.
What are minerals that contain metallic elements called?
They may be called "ores" but the term includes other minerals that contain valuable elements that are not metals.
Why do you mine metal ores?
Metal ores are used as resources from which metals may be extracted.
What are the important ores?
Their importance is that these ores can be extracted into metals .
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Pure native metals are considered minerals. Mixed metals are considered alloys.
Do metals only come fron ores?
Yes, metals do only come from ores and pure metals also are found in the Earth's crust.
Are transition metals often found in ores?
Quick and simple answer is that metals are solid and therefore are affected by the gravity of the Earth more than gases. Therefore gases are in the air and solids are on the surface or under the surface of the Earth.
What is meant by metallurgy?
Extraction of metals from its ores and formation of ores. Studying their properties, their alloys,refining of ores.
Fairly reactive metals found as ores?
no because if the metals were reactive then they would react with elements in the air non reactive metals are found in there native state like gold and silver.
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.
