What else can I help you with?
Are metals found in the ground?
Yes, metals like iron, copper, and gold are found in the ground as part of ores. These metal ores are mined and then processed to extract the pure metal for various industrial applications.
Are ores and rocks minerals or metals?
Ores are mineral deposits that contain metals in concentrated form. Rocks can also contain minerals, but not all rocks are considered to be minerals. Metals are elements that are typically extracted from ores through mining and processing.
Do metals in the earths atmosphere must be mined and separated from their ores?
Metals found in the Earth's crust must typically be mined and extracted from their ores in order to be utilized. Through mining processes, the ores are extracted and then undergo various separation techniques to isolate the desired metal for industrial and commercial applications.
Which metals can be found naturally?
Metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and aluminum can be found naturally in the Earth's crust. These metals often occur in the form of ores, which are rock formations containing a high concentration of the metal in a compound.
Where can you find alkaline-earth metals?
Alkaline-earth metals can be found in the Earth's crust, primarily in minerals such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum. These metals are also commonly present in seawater and in various ores, such as magnesite and beryl.
What metals are fairly reactive and found as ores?
potassium, nickel, carbon
Are metals are found in rocks called ores?
Yes metals are found in rocks called ores. Most metals are more reactive and are found combined with other elements in rocks.
What are the Fairly reactive metals found as ores?
That is not a very precise question. I will assume first, that you mean metallic elements, since 'metals' would include brass, bronze, pewter, and steel! The other thing that would be needed are sharp dividing lines between "very reactive" and "fairly reactive", and between metallic and semi-metallic elements. And finally, does the question mean [b]always[/b] found as ores? Copper [b]can[/b] be found as the metal in nature, but it is now very rare, and copper ores are the usual source of copper metal. Gold is nearly always found as the metal, but there is a rare gold telluride ore. Have a modern (IUPAC) periodic table in front of you for the rest of this answer. Group 1 contains only very reactive metals. Be from group 2 is arguably only fairly reactive; the other elements in this group are very reactive. Group 3, including all of the lanthanide and actinide elements, would count as very reactive, as would Ti from group 4. Zr and Hf are borderline between fairly and very reactive. Groups 5 to 12 would all count as fairly reactive metals, but Os, Ir, Pt, Au are usually found as metals rather than ores, while Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Hg, and Cu are sometimes found as metals. From group 13 Al and Tl count as very reactive, Ga and In as very/fairly borderline, while B is not a metal. In groups 14, 15, and 16, only Sn, Pb, Bi, and Po could be counted as metals, and they would only be fairly reactive. There are no metals in groups 17 and 18.
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?
Fairly reactive metals such as iron, lead, and zinc are commonly found as ores in the form of oxides and carbonates. These metals can be extracted using carbon as a reducing agent to convert the metal oxides or carbonates into pure metals through a process called smelting. This method involves heating the ore with carbon in a furnace to produce the desired metal.
Are transition metals often found in ores?
Quick and simple answer is that metals are solid and therefore are affected by the gravity of the Earth more than gases. Therefore gases are in the air and solids are on the surface or under the surface of the Earth.
Do metals only come fron ores?
Yes, metals do only come from ores and pure metals also are found in the Earth's crust.
Where are most metals found?
Metals are usually found in the Earth's crust, in the form of ores.
Rocks that contain a metal oxide are called ores true or false?
False because an ore is any rock that contians any metal... Best Wishes, Shady Qubaty
Are metals found in the ground?
Yes, metals like iron, copper, and gold are found in the ground as part of ores. These metal ores are mined and then processed to extract the pure metal for various industrial applications.
Which metal ores are found naturally?
unreactive metals, such as gold
Do alkali earth metals occur freely in nature?
No- they are too reactive and thus always found in componds and mixtures
Are all metals found in ores?
"No, gold, silver, and platinum are some of the metals which are not ores". Yes, these metals do occur as nuggets of native element, and are dredged, or panned from stream, and river sediments, but there are many sulfides, and oxides of these, and other metals as well. These oxides, and sulfides are the Ore Minerals sought after by prospectors, and mined from in sittu Hard Rock Deposits.
