प्रश्न
Explain why, carbon cannot reduce oxides of sodium or magnesium.
उत्तर
Sodium and magnesium are most reactive metals (placed at the top in the reactivity series). They are very stable and cannot be reduced by carbon. They have more attraction to oxygen than carbon. Thus, carbon cannot combine with oxygen and reduce these metal oxides to metals.
