NEETChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
What are the principles involved in refining metals through the method of Zone Refining?
Options
- AThe process relies on the difference in solubility of impurities at different temperatures.
- BIt involves passing a molten zone through a solid metal rod.
- CThe impurities are selectively volatilized and removed.
- DThe refining process is based on the difference in melting points of the metal and its impurities.
