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.
Is silicon natural?
Silicon is a marvelously abundant element, and it is most often found as an oxide. Many rocks are silicates, which are silicon oxides with a bit of metal thrown in. Sand us usually silicon oxides.
Why are carbon and hydrogen in the reactivity series?
"Carbon and hydrogen are often included in the reactivity series even though they are non-metals. Carbon is included because this helps to explain what happens in the extraction of iron in a blast furnace. Hydrogen is included because any metal below it will not react with dilute acids."http://www.frankswebspace.org.uk/ScienceAndMaths/chemistry/reactivitySeries.htm
Is carbon a metal or a gas?
Carbon is a nonmetal. Although it is located near the metalloids, it is not sitting on the "staircase" of the periodic table. As a result, it displays properties of a nonmetal like low conductivity of energy.
Do cars release CO2 or Carbon monoxide or both?
No. Carbon dioxide is the product of combustion and cannot be burned. If you compress carbon dioxide you could run an engine in the same manner as compressed air (like the Tata Motors Limited vehicles) and be used as power source. This has not been done with carbon dioxide.)
What are the Fairly reactive metals found as ores compounds often oxides and carbonates and can be extracted using carbon to reduce the metal compound to the pure metal?

What minerals are in light globes?
Silica = silicon dioxide = SiO2 is the only ingredient of quartz glass, often sodium and calcium oxides are added to lower the melting point. Often sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate are used as the metal oxide source and the carbon dioxide escapes into our atmosphere during the melting.
When a substance is combined with oxygen the substance is?
Often it's an oxide. For example, carbon burns in air to form its oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. However, there are other possibilities. Hydrogen burns in oxygen to produce water.

What non metal is used to remove oxygen from metal ores?
Carbon, usually in impure form such as coal or coke, is often used to remove oxygen from metal ores.
Is metal chair legs made of iron?
no. their often made of carbon steel or stainless steel
Carbon belongs to what family?
The carbon family is often referred to as the "Carbon Family". Boring, but true.
What is metal and nonmetal extraction?
A method for separation and recovery of metals and metal oxides from industrial minerals and waste materials Extraction from the metal ore involves reduction of the metal, and electrons can reduce any metal ion. metal ions + electrons metal atoms (reduction). non-metal ions - electrons non-metal atoms (oxidation). The electrodes are often made from graphite. The liquid which conducts electricity is called the electrolyte. The amount of electricity needed to produce a particular mass of metal (or non-metal) can be calculated. The negative electrode, called the cathode, will attract positively charged metal ions. The metal ions collect electrons from the cathode and are discharged as metal atoms. The positive electrode, called the anode, will attract negatively charged non-metal ions. The non-metal ions lose electrons to the anode and are discharged as non-metal atoms.
What is Bugatti made out of?
Carbon Fiber. It's often left unpainted, which gives it a beautiful shiny grey-black metal color.
Why is it important for racing bikes to be made of metal?
it isn't. It's important for racing bikes to be strong enough and as light as possible, and that can often be achieved by using metal in their construction. But carbon fiber can also be used.
How much CO2 is produced by burning charcoal?
The released gases are carbon dioxide and water vapors; a simple test for CO2 is the absorption in calcium hydroxide.If the burning is not incomplete also carbon monoxide is formed; as impurities - sulfur and nitrogen oxides.
