How does mining or extracting metals affect society like Jobs and economy?

Mining is usually done in natural areas, LEDC's (less economically developed countries) usually have more natural areas that are abundant in minerals that are mined so mining offers jobs for the poor locals. Mining also damages local crops and forests so poor farmers can end up with a poor harvests each year resulting in a decrease in their money income- on a larger scale the country's business can collapse.

Is carbon mono oxide useful?
Carbon monoxide is useful as a reducing agent, in extracting some metals from their ores. It is also used in some organic synthesis.
How does soil pollution affect soil productivity?
throwing nonbiodegrable materials into the soil such as plastics,metals and styrofoam
What is activity series?
The Activity Series of metals is a very essential part in predicting the result of many reactions. The Activity series is a chart which list's metals in order of declining reactivity. The metals on the top of the series are the most reactive and the ones in the bottom are the least reactive. The first five elements on the chart are highly reactive metals; which will react with water and steam. It is essential to know, that reactions should be performed in room temperature for the activity series to work well. Many would predict that metals with low ionization energy and lower electro negativity would me more active, because they are more vulnerable to lose electrons in a reaction. However, while these properties do affect an elements place in the series, there are other factors that affect an elements activity
What do metals include?
alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides and actinides and metals in mixed groups
Why is sludge dumping a threat to marine and human life?
Depends on where the sludge has come from. The sludge left behind in sewerage treatment contains heavy metals. These can get into fish, which are then caught and consumed by humans. Heavy metals accumulate and can cause severe illness and deformatity in unborn children and affect health of adults.
Where are places for extracting metals and chemicals?
Mineral ores,coal
Which common way of extracting metals is the most expensive?
it is to extract the metal by electrolysis
What are the industrial applications of redox reactions?
extracting metals from ore and galvanized batteries
How metals are important to your society?
How metals are important to our society?
How do you get the metals that I use every day?
you get it from the ground either by using a ore or extracting it from the ground
What are general ways of extracting metals from its ore?
1. High Temperatures 2. Solutions3. Electricity
What process involves extracting metals from other substances or alloys?
Electrolysis... Some people say electro refining
Why is it important to recylce metals?
It is important to recycle metals because all the resources on earth is limited and no one on earth would like to run out of resources. Recycling is much economic than digging up metals in their compound form and then extracting it.
Advantages of mining metals to the economy?
One of the main advantages to the economy is that because certain metals are running out they can be sold across countries at a high price hope this helps =)
Are metals more important than non metals to society and why?
This distinction is not adequate.
What is the extraction of metals?
First you mine the ore (typically oxides or sulfides of the desired metals), then you crush the ore, then you smelt the ore in a furnace. Some metals like aluminum must be extracted from the ore electrolytically instead of by smelting.
What is metallurgy?
Metallurgy is the art of working metals, comprehending the whole process of separating them from other matters in the ore, smelting, refining, and parting them; sometimes, in a narrower sense, only the process of extracting metals from their ores.
