A natually magnetic rock was indentified 2500 years ago by Greeks what is it called?
Magnetite.
How is bronze extracted from its ore?
Various metals were in use in the Bronze Age. The name given by archaeologists to the period comes from the fact that bronze was the most widely used metal, but people also used copper and tin. Gold was used for decorative items and towards the end of the Bronze Age Iron was also widespread.
Who discoverd magnets?
Who invented magnets? The first magnets were not invented, but rather were found from a naturally occurring mineral called magnetite. Traditionally, the ancient Greeks were the discoverers of magnetite. There is a story about a shepherd named Magnes whose shoe nails stuck to a rock containing magnetite. There is an alternate story about a region of Macedonia called Magnesia as the starting point. I remember being taught that the Greeks discovered naturally occurring magnets of magnetite in Turkey. Magnetite occurs all over the world, but there are especially large deposits in Scandinavia. The Vikings invented the first practical magnetic compass and used it extensively in their travels to colonize or in war. This enabled them to cross oceans to reach the new world and to invade England at will, even in the dense fog. The Vikings kept the existence of the magnetic compass a secret. The Chinese also invented the magnetic compass, probably earlier than the Vikings. After commercial trade with China was started by the Italians, especially after Marco Polo's trip, the magnetic compass was introduced to the rest of Europe. This made possible the exploration of the oceans by the Europeans, although the Norsemen had a monopoly for almost 500 years and thus a big head start. Today all ships large and small use magnetic compasses to navigate. The mineral magnetite is an iron oxide that is easily magnetized when it forms. Magnetite is also known as Lodestone.

How can carbon be used to extract a metal from its ore?
Metals are extracted from ores. An ore is a rock that contains enough of a mineral (metal compound) for the metal to be extracted from it. Most metals are extracted from an ore by reduction with carbon or by electrolysis.
What metal is extracted from gold?
Metal cannot be extracted from Gold, as Gold itself is a metal.
What metal is extracted from alumina?
Aluminium is extracted from alumina.

Iron is extracted from haematite.
What is a metallic ore?
Its mineral (rock) that can be processed to produce base metal, here are a few examples Chalcocite: Cu2S for production of copper Bauxite Al2O3 for production of aluminium Argentite: Ag2S for production of silver
Is 'magnet' a simpler synonym for 'magnetite'?
No. Magnet is aword for apiece of metal that has been charged with magnetic properties, Magnetite is a mineral.
What are aliminium and iron extracted from?
Aluminium is mainly extracted from Bauxite, which is Aluminium oxide(Al2O3). Iron is mainly extracted from Hematite, which is Iron(III) oxide(Fe2O3). Some other minerals of Iron are Pyrite(FeS2) and Magnetite(Fe3O4).
How many years does it take for magnetite to form?
Magnetite is an extremely rare metal (rock) and can take 459,000 to 23,000,000 years to form.
How is steel extracted from iron?
Iron is mainly extracted from haematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite(Fe3O4).
How was lithium the element extracted?
