Bromine
0%
Copper
0%
Aluminium
0%
Iron
Explanation
Metals are generally ductile and malleable. Since, bromine is non-metal, it is not ductile. Rest copper, aluminium and iron are metals and hence, are ductile.

0%
Some metals are found in earth's crust in the free state
0%
Metals at the bottom of activity series are least reactive
0%
Gold, silver can never be found in free state
0%
Both A and B
Explanation
Some metals are found in the earth's crust in the free state. Some are found in the form of their compounds.
The metals at the bottom of the activity series are least reactive.
Metals like gold and silver are non-reactive and hence are found in a free state only.
Hence, option
D
is correct.

0%
aluminium
0%

0%
mercury
Explanation
Metals such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, in the reactivity series are very reactive and cannot be obtained from their compounds by heating with carbon. These metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction. This process is used for oxides of highly reactive metals that are above aluminium in the reactivity series.
Zinc oxide is reduced to zinc metal by heating with:

Explanation
Zinc metal is in the middle of the activity series. Such metals are present mostly as sulphides and carbonates. Since it is easier to obtain metals from their oxides, these sulphides and carbonates are first converted to oxides through calcination or roasting. After that, ZnO is reduced to the corresponding metal using suitable reducing agents such as carbon.
Therefore, option A is correct.

Explanation
Magnesium metal is high up in the reactivity series, is very reactive, and cannot be obtained from its compounds by heating with carbon. This is because it has more affinity for oxygen than carbon. Thus, it is obtained by electrolytic reduction.
Which of the following methods is suitable for preventing an iron frying pan from rusting?
Report Question
0%
Applying grease
0%
Applying paint
0%
Applying a coating of zinc
0%
All of the above
Explanation
Applying paint and grease are not suitable solutions to prevent an iron frying pan from rusting as the paint can melt by flame and can be destroyed in repeated use.
Applying a coating of zinc is a better option as it forms a coating of corrosion-resistant zinc which prevents corrosive substances from reaching the more delicate part of the metal.
The metals sodium, calcium, and magnesium at the top of the reactivity series can be obtained by:
Report Question

Explanation
T
he metals high up in the activity series are very reactive. They cannot be obtained by heating their compounds with carbon. Reduction of their oxides by carbon is not possible because these metals have a high affinity for oxygen than carbon.

Malleability
0%
Ductility
0%
Conductivity

None of these
Explanation
Malleability and ductility are the properties that give an idea about their shape or change the shape of a metal.
Malleability is the property that metals can be beaten into thin sheets.
Ductility is the property of drawing them into thin wires.
Conductivity is the property in which the metal conducts electricity or heat, and is not related to the shape of the metals.
