Answer 1

Explanation:

metallurgy: the technique or science of working or heating metals so as to give them certain desired shapes or properties. the technique or science of making and compounding alloys. the technique or science of separating metals from their ores.

ores:Ore is natural rock or sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals, typically metals, that can be mined, treated and sold at a profit.

Answer 2

The above terms are explained below:

• Metallurgy is defined as the entire process of extraction and purification of a metal from its ore. It can be of three types:

1. Pyro-metallurgy- Metallurgy in which heating effect is involved.
2. Hydro-metallurgy- Metallurgy in which a solvent is used.
3. Electro-metallurgy- Metallurgy in which the process of electrolysis gets involved.

• Ores are the minerals from which metals can be extracted profitably. All ores are water soluble. Generally, nitrates do not form ores as all nitrates are water insoluble.
• Minerals are the naturally occurring substances that contain metals in a combined state. All ores are minerals but all minerals are not ores.
• Gangue is referred to the impurities associated with the ore particles. It is also known as matrix.
