(a) A metal has a positive oxidation number in its ore. (b) Hence, when it is extracted from its ore, its oxidation number decreases to zero. The method of reduction depends on the reactivity of the metals. More often than not, the cost is also taken into consideration. For example, a metal can be extracted from its ore using more reactive ...

aluminium is extracted from its bauxite ore, which is largely aluminium oxide, by electrolysis. The oxide is dissolved in molten cryolite, Na3AlF6, to form a solution that has a lower melting point than pure aluminium oxide (this reduces the energy required, increases conductivity and therefore reduces cost).
