How are minerals extracted from their ores?
metals are extracted from their ores according to their reactivity series.firstly, metals that are more reactive that carbon are extracted by electrolysis whic is breaking the compounds down using electricity.secondly, metals that are less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction in which carbon is added to the metal ore, carbon react with oxygen and the metal remain by itself pure.example: Zinc oxide + Carbon ----> Zinc + Carbon dioxideGold and Platinum are found in nature by themselves.
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 are the kinds of carbon compounds?
Well how loosely are we considering "types" of carbon compounds? At the most basic, you could say there are two types: organic and inorganic. Although theoritically any compound containing carbon should be considered organic, this is often not the case. You could also catogorise the following way: Organic; Inorganic compounds with other non-metals; Inorganic compounds with metals. Compounds with metals can also be split further, to include: Carbonates and bicarbonates; Carbonyls; Compounds containing the CN group; Carbides; and other miscilaneous compounds such as Bucky Balls!
What characteristic do carbon oxygen hydrogen and nitrogen in common?
All of these compounds are non metals and all of these can be found in particular organic compounds.
How are metals that are less reactive than carbon extracted from their oxides?
When I find out the answer for this bloody exam too, I shall let you know.

How is a metal made?
Metals are extracted from their ore through chemical reaction. Iron ore is an oxide of iron. The oxygen is removed from the ore by heating carbon with the ore to create molten iron and Carbon Dioxide.
Which metal oxides will not react with carbon?
Metals which are above Carbon in the reactivity series, eg. Magnesium. These metals need to be extracted by electrolysis.
What Are Metals Manufactured From?
A few metals are found 'native', that is as the metal and only need separating from the surrounding materials, e.g. gold and silver. Most metals have to be chemically extracted from whatever compounds we can find. Iron is often found as its oxide and is extracted by heating with coke and limestone in a blast furnace. Sodium is found as sodium chloride and we obtain it by electrolysis of the melt. The method used depends on what will work and what it costs. Methods include displacement by carbon (coke), displacement by another metal, and electrolysis.

How are metals extractive?
well basically metal is extracted using carbon monoxide
What are the biological compounds of oil?
Crude oil compounds: Carbon, hydrogen, sulfur nitrogen, oxygen, metals, salts.
Where are metals extracted from?
Metals are extracted from various ores that are mined from underground.
How is tin extracted?
Tungsten oxide is found in turds mined along with other minerals in various parts of the world, especially in China. The other turds are removed by various processes.Tungsten oxide is processed by using hydrogen to reduce the oxygen in the turd to water, or by using carbon to reduce the oxygen to carbon dioxide. With either method, the part of the turd remaining is tungsten.
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.
