The process in which an ore is melted to separate the useful metal form other elements is?
smelting
Elements in groups 3 through 12 have many useful properties and are called?
Even though 3 does not seem like a transition metal, elements 3-12 are all transition metals.
Process in which an ore is melted to separate the useful metal from other elements the ore contains?
Smelting
The elements that are characterized by the presence of an incomplete d sublevel are called?
Those elements are called transition elements
Why aren't metal ores useful?
Metal ores are refined into metal. Metal is very useful, hence, metal ore is also useful.
What is waste from smelting called?
Slag or dross. Both are byproducts of separating the elements of liquified metal ore.
What is the term for rock containing a metal or other useful mineral that can be mined and sold at a profit?
Rock material mined for its constituent elements or minerals is called "ore."

When is a rock considered an ore?
An ore is a rock that bears minerals containing valuable elements. Most rock can be considered to be an ore although the classification is usually reserved for rock that has sufficient concentrations of elements to make it worth mining and separating.
Why aren't metal ores useful?
Metal ores are refined into metal. Metal is very useful, hence, metal ore is also useful.
What are the elements that lacks most of the properties of metals called?
it's called a non metal
What is the only common non-metal called?
All elements are either metal or non-metal. The most common non-metal elements are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. See 'Related Links' below
What is an ore that is mixed with other substances and then melt to separate the useful metal from other elements the ore contains in the process?
Hfet
How is the study of metal called?
The study of metal is called "Metallurgy". It studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements and alloys. Metallurgy also studies the technology of metal.
