Question

how is the method of extraction of metal high up in the reactivity series different from that for metals in the middle? why can the same process not be applied from them ?name the process used​

Answer 1

metals high up in reactivity series are extracted by electrolytic reduction while those in the middle are extracted first by converted into oxide and then reducing by carbon 1.same method cannot be used because metals have more affinity for oxygen then carbon and chlorine is liberated at anode
