What are the metals called which occur in the rocks in the form of?
The metal in rocks is metal ore. Copper ore, iron ore, and so on. In general, once the ore has been quarried or mined, the ore is crushed and smelted (heated to a high temperature) allowing the now molten metal to be retrieved. The waste rock is dumped. Further processing is needed to obtain a finished metal in as pure a state as possible.
What is the difference between ore and ores?
In English ores is the plural of ore. Ore is a mined substance which may be used directly or from which other minerals and elements can extracted.
Is ore metal or non metal?
"Ore" is a mixture of some kind of metal that you are trying to extract, and the rock that is generally mixed in with it.
What is the difference between a metal a mineral and an ore?
Mineral,is a naturally occurring material in which metal or its compounds occur.An ore is that mineral in which metal is present in large quantity and from which the metal can be extracted in pure and high quality,economically.
Can an asteroid be pure metal?
Yes. Such an asteroid must have been part of the core of a once larger asteroid. __________________________ No. Asteroids are natural; nothing natural is "pure". There are always other materials mixed in to native ore. If scientists discovered an object of a "pure" metal, they would know that it was artificial, that someone had made it. asteroid is one of our heavenly body
What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?
gold is very resistant to corrosion so a significant fraction of gold ore is pure gold metal. iron corrodes very easily so iron ore is always mostly a mix of iron oxides (i.e. rusts).
What is the difference between metal melting and metal smelting?
Smelting extracts a metal from its ore. Melting liquifies the metal.
Which is more stable pure metal or its ore?
It will depend on the specific metal. Many metals will tarnish or corrode in its pure form, but in the ore will remain stable.
How oxygen is removed from an ore to obtain the pure metal?
Heat
What is the mass in g of pure copper ore metal?
It depends how much of it you have.
What happens when making metal?
You can not actually make metal but you can obtain metal from an ore of that metal. The ore is a chemical compound of that metal and the process of smelting the ore involvesf breaking the compound up using heat and "reducing it" essentially removing oxygen - to leave the pure metal.
What is the process of obtaining pure metal from ore called?
is it called purification or refining
What is the difference between virgin and scrap metal?
Virgin metal is metal that's been made fresh from ore. Scrap metal is metal that's been made into something first, then brought back and recycled.

How much metal could you extract from 1000g of on ore containing 1 percent metal?
The answer to this question is a simple math equation. If 1000g of ore can yield 1% metal from quantity all that needs to be done is divide 1,000 by 100 to find the answer. 10g of pure metal can be extracted from 1000g of ore.

What is the difference between an ore and alloy?
Ore is raw material, alloy is combination of metals
