| How are the most active metals obtained in industry? Write the equation for the reaction of obtaining sodium in the electrolysis of sodium chloride melt.
The most active metals in industry are obtained by passing a direct electric current through solutions or melts of their compounds, i.e. electrolysis:
2NaCl —–> 2Na + Сl2 (melt electrolysis)
