Sulfide ores are common for the metals -
- Ag, Cu and Pb
- Ag, Cu and Sn
- Ag, Mg and Pb
- Al, Cu and Pb
Correct answer: Ag, Cu and Pb
Solution
Silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) commonly occur as sulfide ores due to their chemical affinity for sulfur, forming stable compounds like Ag₂S, Cu₂S, and PbS.
