best_answer

We can obtain metal from its oxide by using reduction process. The metal oxides are reduced using reducing agents such as highly reactive metals so that they can displace the metal from its oxide.

For e.g.     From zinc oxide we can get zinc by using reducing agent carbon.               

                         ZnO\ +\ C\ \rightarrow \ Zn\ +\ CO
