Manufacturing of a car requires special consideration of its overall weight. More weight of the car means more consumption of fuel during the driving. Hence, engineers are always in search of such an alloy that can be used to reduce the overall weight of a car without compromising on the strength of components and hence the safety of the passengers.

Considering the scenario discussed above, suggest which type of alloy might be suitable for the automobile industry? Also, do research, using the internet, to find out what kind of metals or alloys automobile companies are using currently to manufacture cars.

True or False.

Carbon is placed just below zinc in the reactivity series.

True or False.

In electrorefining, impure metal is made the cathode.
