Question

The set in which all the metals are obtained by heating their compounds/ores in air is:
  1. Pb, Cu, Ni
  2. K, Al, Au
  3. Ag, Au, Zn
  4. Cu, Hg, Ag

A
K, Al, Au
B
Pb, Cu, Ni
C
Ag, Au, Zn
D
Cu, Hg, Ag
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Metals that are very low in their reactivity like Cu, Hg, Ag, Au (i.e., relatively noble) are obtained by heating their ores.

Metals of moderate reactivity like Zn, Ni, Pb are obtained by carbon reduction. Highly reactive metals like K, Ca, Al are extracted by electrolytic method.

Hence, the correct set is Cu, Hg, Ag.
