HEY HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Extracting Metals towards the Top of the Activity Series
The metals at the top of the activity series are highly reactive.
They cannot be obtained from their compounds by heating with carbon.
These metals have more affinity for oxygen.
These metals are obtained by electrolytic reduction.
example sodium chloride
Sodium ions migrate to the cathode, where electrons enter the melt and are reduced to sodium metal.
Chloride ions migrate the other way, toward the anode. They give up their electrons to the anode and are oxidized to chlorine gas.
