Work Step by Step
The Group 1A (1) and 2A (2) metals are produced by electrolysis of their molten salts because these metals have high melting points, and the electrolysis process helps in extracting them from their ionic compounds. The electrolysis of molten salts allows the ions to be mobile, and the reduction of the metal ions occurs at the cathode, leading to the extraction of the metals.
