Most metals are extracted from ore found in the Earth's crust. An ore is a rock that contains enough of a metal or a metal compound to make extracting the metal worthwhile. The extraction method used depends upon the metal's position in the reactivity series. In principle, any metal could be extracted from its compounds using electrolysis. However, large amounts of electrical energy are needed to do this, so electrolysis is expensive.
If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its compounds by heating with carbon. Copper is an example of this. Copper mostly occurs as sulfide ores, which are heated in air to convert them to copper(II) oxide. Molten copper can be produced from copper oxide by heating with carbon:
Copper oxide + carbon → copper + carbon dioxide
2CuO(s) + C(s) → 2Cu(l) + CO2(g)
