Question

38. How is the extraction of metals at the top of reactivity series carried out? Explain
with an example.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The extraction of highly reactive metals involves the electrolysis of their chlorides. The electrolysis is carried in the molten state. ... These get deposited on the cathode of the electrolysis set up. Hence, metals at the top of the reactivity series can be obtained by electrolysis of their molten chlorides.
