Metal oxides are reduced to metal by:

1. electrolytic reduction
2. liquation
3. distillation
4. none of the above

Correct answer: electrolytic reduction

Solution

Highly reactive metal oxides are too stable to be reduced by common chemical reducing agents like carbon. They are obtained by electrolytic reduction, where electric current drives the oxide to release the metal.
