MCQ
In zone$-$refining method, the molten zone:
  • A
    Consists of impurities only.
  • Contains more impurity than the original metal.
  • C
    Contains the purified metal only.
  • D
    Moves to either side.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Contains more impurity than the original metal.
Zone$-$refining process is a group of similar methods of purifying crystals, in which a narrow region of a crystal is melted, and this molten zone is moved along the crystal. The molten region melts impure solid at its forward edge and leaves a wake of purer material solidified behind it as it moves through the ingot. It typically contains more impurity than the original metal.
