Hey friend Ur answer is
Smelting is a process of applying heat to orein order to extract out a base metal. It is a form of extractive metallurgy. It is used to extract many metals from their ores, including silver, iron, copper, and other base metals. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gases or slag and leaving the metal base behind. The reducing agent is commonly a source of carbon, such as coke—or, in earlier times, charcoal.
For example, zinc is more reactive than copper so it has to be extracted by smelting. It can be extracted by heating its ore with charcoal aka smelting .
