  • None of the above oxides can be reduced with carbon to obtain the metal.
  • The oxides of highly reactive metals cannot be reduced by carbon. 
  • Magnesium has a very low reduction potential compared to other metal oxides, therefore conventional reducing agents cannot reduce it. 
  • The oxides of sodium, magnesium, calcium, aluminium, etc. cannot be converted to the corresponding metals by carbon. This is because certain metals have more affinity to bind oxygen than carbon.
