Reactivity Series
Science, The reactivity series, KS3,
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Most reactive metal? | Potassium |
Least reactive metal? | Gold |
What is the pattern when the metals react in air? | When going down the list, the elements get less reactive to the oxygen in the air |
What is the formula for a metal reacting with oxygen? | Metal+ Oxygen -> metal oxide |
What is the pattern when metals react with water? | The further you go down the reactivity series, the less reactant |
What is the formula for a metal reacting with water? | Metal + Water -> Metal hydroxide + hydrogen |
What is the formula for a metal reacting with an acid? | Metal + Acid -> salt + hydrogen |
Metals react faster w/....? | cold dilute acids ( e.g hydrochloric acid ) |
