==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Smelting]] is a process for [[Extraction of Metals|extracting metals]] by heating and [[melting]] a [[mineral]] with [[carbon]] to cause a [[Displacement Reaction|displacement reaction]].
===About Smelting===
: Any [[metal]] below [[Carbon]] on the [[Reactivity Series]] can be [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]] from its by [[smelting]] with [[Carbon]].
: When the [[ore]] is [[melting|melted]] it [[Carbon]] is added and a [[Displacement Reaction|displacement reaction]] happens where the [[Carbon]] replaces the [[metal]] in the [[mineral]].
