compounds. The more reactive a metal is, the more difficult it is to extract from its ore. Metals with quite a low reactivity can be extracted by roasting the ore in air. The oxygen in the air reacts with the compound, releasing the metal. Copper and mercury ores can be treated in this way to extract the metal. Carbon reduction Metals with a medium reactivity can be extracted using a process called carbon reduction. This is where the element carbon is used to separate the metal from the ore. Although
