          Carbon is a non-metal and silicon is usually considered to be a non-metal.

          Tin and lead have all the usual properties of metals.

          Germanium has these properties:

•        grey-white shiny solid

•        melting point 937°C

•        semi-conductor

•        reacts with chlorine to form the chloride (GeCl4) which is a liquid molecular compound

•        germanium oxide reacts with acids to form a salt solution and water. It also reacts with alkalis.

(a)     With reference to their structure, explain why tin and lead are good conductors of electricity.

Method 1 or mining and smelting

Method 2 phytomining.

The main stages in the two methods are shown in the flow diagrams. 

 

Use information from the flow diagrams and your own knowledge to evaluate both methods of copper extraction.

Give the advantages and disadvantages of both methods.

Remember to include a conclusion in your answer.
