What is metal ores?

Metallic ores are rocks that contain metals.Sometimes it contains a metal compound, like Hematite, an ore of Iron, Fe2O3, for example. They can also contain metals that are found in their pure form, like copper (which can form compounds, but not usually when found in ore) and Gold (which does not form compounds). This is known as a 'native' metal.


Is metal made of rock or is it metal?

Metal is not made of rock. It is made of metal atoms bonded together in what is called a sea of electrons. Metal ores are rocks that contain metal atoms bonded with other elements, such as oxygen, and as such the metal compound in the ore does not have the properties of metals, such as luster, malleability, and conductivity, until the ore is processed and the metal is separated out. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Conversely, rock is made up of several different metals such as silicon, iron, and/or cobalt, etc., and mixed together in it's magma stage before it's cooled.


Is copper ferrous metal?

No, copper is not a ferrous metal. Ferrous metals are those that contain iron, while copper is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it does not contain iron.


The coordination number of a transition metal ion is always equal to the number of ligands the metal is capable of bonding with. True or False?

False. The coordination number of a transition metal ion is the total number of bonds formed between the metal ion and the ligands. It is not necessarily equal to the number of ligands the metal is capable of bonding with.
