Noble Metal: Noble metals are metals that are resistant to corrosion or oxidation, unlike most base metals. They tend to be precious metals, often due to perceived rarity. Ex: Tantalum, Gold, Platinum, Rhodium.
Precious Metal: These are rare metallic chemical elements of high economic value. Chemically the previous metals are less reactive than most elements, have high luster and high electrical conductivity. Ex: Gold, Copper (coinage elements) Platinum (most widely traded).
Base Metals: A metal that oxidises or corrodes relatively easily and reacts variably with dilute (HCl) to form hydrogen. Ex: Iron, Nickel, Lead, Zinc.

Chemical properties of metals -

Property	Metals	Non-metals
Nature	Metals show the tendency to lose valence electrons, to form positive ions (Cations). Hence, electropositive in nature. [Na→Na⁺ + e^–]	Non-metals show the tendency to gain electrons to complete its octet , to form negative ions (anions). Hence electronegative in nature. [Cl + e^– → Cl^–]
Reaction with water	Metals react with Water to form Metal Oxides or Metal Hydroxides and Hydrogen. 2Na(s)+2H₂O(l) → 2NaOH(aq)+H₂(g) 2Al(s)+3H₂O(l) → Al₂O₃(aq)+3H₂(g)	Do not react
Reaction with Oxygen	Metals react with Oxygen present in the air to form Metal Oxides (ionic oxides). 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s) Metallic oxides are generally basic or amphoteric in nature.	Non-Metals react with Oxygen present in the air to form non-Metal Oxides (covalent oxides). C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) Non-Metallic oxides are generally acidic or neutral in nature.
Reaction with dilute acids	Metals react with Dilute Acids to form Salts and Hydrogen gas. Metals displace hydrogen of Dilute Acids to form metal salts and Hydrogen gas. Mg(s)+2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq)+H₂(g)	No reaction with dilute acids. They react with strong acids: C + 2H₂SO₄ → 2H₂O + CO₂ + SO₂
Reaction of Metals with Metal Salt solutions	A more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution (Displacement reaction). Metal A + Salt Solution of Metal B → Salt Solution of Metal A + Metal B Fe(s)+CuSO₄(aq)→FeSO₄(aq)+Cu(s)	They do not react with salt solution but displaces less reactive non-metal from the salt.

At room temperature, sodium is soft and can be cut with a knife. When exposed to humid air, the silver white surface quickly oxidises. Hence to protect them from accidental fires, they are kept immersed in kerosene oil.
Some metals like Magnesium, Aluminium, Zinc, Lead etc. forms an Oxide Layer over it which Prevents further Oxidation. They are called Self Protecting Metals or passive metals.
Amphoteric oxides - Those metal oxides which show basic as well as acidic behaviour are known as amphoteric oxides. Aluminium metal and zinc metal form amphoteric oxides. Thus, aluminium oxide and zinc oxide are amphoteric in nature (which show basic as well as acidic behaviour).
Fe does not burn on heating but iron fillings burn vigorously when sprinkled in the flame of burner
If concentrated HNO₃ is simultaneously added to copper, it reacts immediately and produces brown fumes of NO₂.
Acids are often used to dissolve metals or organic material. However, certain materials are more difficult to dissolve. They require more potent and specialized acid solutions like aqua regia to dissolve gold and platinum.

Reactivity series

On the basis of reactions of some important metals with oxygen, water and acids, as well as displacement reactions, the metals have been arranged in a group or series according to their chemical reactivity.

This arrangement of metals in a vertical column in decreasing reactivity order is known as a reactivity series of metals (or activity series of metals).

Order of reactivity	Reaction with water	Reaction with dilute acid
Potassium	Fizz, given off hydrogen gas, Leaving an alkaline solution of metal hydroxide	explode
soduim
lithium
calcium		fizz, givin off hydrogen gas and forming a salt
magnesium	very slow reaction

tin	slight reaction with steam	react slowly with warm acid
lead	slight reaction with steam	react slowly with warm acid
copper	no reaction, even with steam	no reaction

Gangue (Matrix) : The unwanted impurities present with ore.
Metallurgy: It is the branch of science which deals with the extraction of metals from their ores and then refining them for use.

Steps in Metallurgy

Concentration of the Ore ( Enrichment of the ore ).
Objective : To obtain pure ore, by removal of Gangue from the ore.
Reduction to the metal.
Objective : To obtain the Metal from the ore.
Refining ( Purification of the metal ).
Objective : To obtain Pure Metal from the impure metal by removal of impurities.

Activity series and related metallurgy

Extraction of Metals from their Ores

Extraction of metals Low in the Activity Series

Metals which are low in the activity series can be reduced to the metals by heating in the presence of oxygen (Roasting).

Mercury is obtained from its ore Cinnabar (HgS) by heating in the presence of
When it is heated in the presence of oxygen it is first converted into Mercuric Oxide (HgO). On further heating it is reduced to Mercury (Hg).
2HgS(s) + 3O₂(g) ⟶ 2HgO(s) + 2SO₂(g)
2HgO(s) ⟶ 2Hg(l) + O₂(g)
Copper is obtained from its Sulphide ore (Cu2S) by heating in the presence of
2Cu₂S(s) + 3O₂(g) ⟶ 2Cu₂O(s) + 2SO₂(g)
2Cu₂O(s) + Cu₂S(s) ⟶ 6Cu(s) + SO₂(g)

Extraction of metals middle in the Activity Series

Metals in the middle of the activity series- Zinc, Lead, Iron

Oxidation of metal ores

Ores of these metals generally exist as oxides, Sulphides, and carbonates.
It is easier to obtain metals from their Oxides than from their Sulphides or carbonates. Therefore, at first non-oxide ores are converted into oxides ores by calcination or roasting.

Calcination	Roasting
It is the process of converting an ore into its oxides by heating it strongly, below its melting point in limited supply of air or in absence of air.	It is the process of converting an ore into its metallic oxide by heating it strongly below its melting point in excess of air.
This process is commonly used for carbonate ores.	This process is commonly used for sulphide ores and is carried out in blast furnaces.

Reduction of oxide to metal

The oxide ore is then reduced to the metal by heating with a reducing agent. The most common reducing agent is coke (carbon).
ZnO(s) + C(s) ⟶ Zn(s) + CO(g)
Removal of Oxygen from a compound is called Reduction and the substance which removes Oxygen from the compound is called Reducing Agent .

Extraction of metals top in the Activity Series

The highly active metals at the top of activity series cannot be obtained from their ores by −

Simple
Heating with Reducing Agents.

They are obtained by Electrolytic Reduction of their Molten Chlorides. Example :
When electric current is passed through Molten Sodium Chloride,

Sodium Metal is deposited at the Cathode.
Chlorine gas is liberated at the Anode.

$$\textbf{At Anode:}\space 2Cl^-(aq) - 2e^-→ Cl_2↑\\\textbf{At Anode:}\space Na^+(aq) + e^-→ Na_{(s)}$$

Refining of metals

The Removal of Impurities from the metal to obtain the pure metal is called as Refining of Metals.

Electrolytic refining of metals

Method -

1. A block of the Impure metal is made the Anode
2. A thin sheet of Pure Metal is made of Cathode.
3. The Electrolyte is a salt solution of the metal to be purified.

For example - electrolytic refining of copper
A block of impure copper is made the anode and a thin sheet of pure copper is made the cathode.
The Electrolyte is an acidified Copper Sulphate solution. When electric current is passed through the electrolyte, Pure Copper from the Anode is deposited at the Cathode and the Impurities settle down as Anode Mud.
$$\textbf{At Anode:}\space Cu_{(s)} - 2e^-→Cu^{2+}\\\textbf{At Anode:}\space Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2e^-→ Cu_{(s)}$$
Below Anode: AnodeNud

Corrosion -

Corrosion is the damage caused to Metals due to the reaction of Metals with Oxygen, Moisture, Carbon Dioxide, etc.

Conditions Necessary for Corrosion -

Presence of air (or Oxygen)
Presence of water (or Moisture)

Corrosion of metals can be prevented by

Applying oil or grease.
Applying paint.
By Galvanization. (Coating with zinc)
[Galvanizing is a process by which molten zinc is sprayed on the surface of iron or by immersing the iron object in a bathtub containing molten zinc.]
By tinning. (Coating with tin)
[Tinning is the process of thinly coating the sheets of wrought iron or steel with tin, and the resulting product is known as tinplate. It is most often used to prevent rust.]
By alloying. (Making alloys)
[An Alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals or a metal and a nonmetal.]
