Answer 1

Explanation:

The oxides of very reactive metals cannot be reduced with carbon. This is because these metals have more affinity (more attraction) for oxygen than carbon. so carbon is unable to remove oxygen from these metal oxides and hence cannot convert them into free metals.

Answer 2

Answer:These metals have more affinity towards oxygen than carbon and thus, carbon is unable to remove the oxygen from the oxides of these metals and convert the metals into free states.Thus, the oxides of highly reactive metals cannot be reduced by carbon.
