    3.Carbon
    4.Chlorine
    5.None of these
    Answer – 2.Copper
    Explanation :
    The main ores of copper are:chalcopyrite; bornite; malachite. The ores are extracted by either traditional mining (open pit or underground) or by leaching.

  8. Which is/are the ore of Phosphorous ?
    1.Floreopetite
    2.Phosphoric acid
    3.Phosphorite
    4.Phosphate
    5.Both 1 and 3
    Answer – 5.Both 1 and 3
    Explanation :
    Phosphorite, phosphate rock or rock phosphate is a non-detrital sedimentary rock which contains high amounts of phosphate bearing minerals. The phosphate content of phosphorite is at least 15 to 20%; if it is assumed that the phosphate minerals in phosphorite are hydroxyapatite and fluoroapatite, phosphate minerals contain roughly 18,5 % phosphorus by weight
