Metals found naturally in earths crust and why
platinum gold silver,very un reactive
Metals whose ore is heated with carbon to extract(reduction)
Copper,lead,tin,iron,zinc
Metals extracted by electrolysis
Aluminium magnesium calcium sodium potassium
When metals corrode they are
Oxidised
Rusting
Oxidation if iron (sometimes with water) to form iron oxide on surface
Why doesn’t gold corrode
It’s very un reactive
