Question

Consider the below statements and identify the correct answer.
Statement-I: The metals high up in the reactivity series are very reactive.

Statement-II: The metals high up in the reactivity series can be obtained from their compounds by electrolytic reduction.

A.

Both the statements are true.

B.

Both the statements are false.

C.

Statement-I is true, and Statement-II is false.

D.

Statement-II is true, and Statement-I is false.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Both the statements are true.

Explanation: 

  • The metals high up in the reactivity series are highly reactive and tend to form stable compounds, which makes it difficult to extract them from their ores.
  • These metals include elements like potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium.

Information Booster

  • To obtain these metals from their compounds, electrolytic reduction is commonly used.
  • In this process, electrical energy is used to break down the compound (usually a molten or dissolved metal salt) into its component elements.
  • For example: Sodium can be extracted from molten sodium chloride (NaCl) through electrolysis. Aluminum is obtained from aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) through the process of electrolysis.
