Metal oxides, extraction, and redox in terms of electrons
- 3 things to know
- Chemistry Paper 1
Overview
Metal oxides and oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen, why gold is found as the metal, extracting metals less reactive than carbon by heating their oxides with carbon as the reducing agent, comparing industrial extraction methods, and predicting which oxides carbon can reduce.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What type of compound is formed when a metal reacts with oxygen?
Model answer
A metal oxide.
- 2
Why is the reaction of a metal with oxygen described as an oxidation?
Model answer
Because the metal gains oxygen.
- 3
Write the balanced equation for magnesium burning in oxygen.
Model answer
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO.
- 4
Define oxidation in terms of oxygen.
Model answer
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen by a substance.
- 5
Define reduction in terms of oxygen.
Model answer
Reduction is the loss of oxygen from a substance.
- 6
Why is gold found in the Earth as the metal itself?
Model answer
Gold is so unreactive that it does not combine with other elements to form compounds.
