REDOX, REACTIVITY SERIES + METAL EXTRACTION

What is oxidation

The loss of electrons, gain of oxygen

What is reduction

Gain of electrons, loss of oxygen

What is the order of the reactivity series

Potassium
Sodium
Calcium
Magnesium
Aluminium
Carbon
Zinc
Iron
Tin
Lead
Hydrogen
Copper
Silver
Gold

Where are unreactive metals found

Found in the Earth as the metal itself

What is a displacement reaction

A more reactive metal takes place of a less reactive metal from a compound

How are metal oxides produced

reacting a metal and oxygen together

What ions do metals form when reacting with other substance

positive ions

How are most metals found

As compounds that require chemical reactions to be extracted

How do we obtain pure metals

Mining

How can we extract metals that are less reactive than carbon

reacting them with carbon, displacement reaction

How do you remember the reactivity series
