Native metals
2 of 13
What is an ore?
A solid metal that can be extracted economically
3 of 13

9 of 13
How would you stop Iron rusting?
Get the Iron chromed, electro-polished, painted, plated with zinc or coated in Polyethane
10 of 13
Explain why heating Zinc Oxide turns to Zinc when heated with Carbon?
Carbon is higher up in the reactivity series --> Carbon will displace the Oxygen from Zinc.
