Chemistry

  1. How do metals differ in their reactivity, and how is this represented by the Reactivity Series?

  2. What are some uses of metals and their alloys?

  • understand the meaning of the term 'reactive' and 'reactivity series.'

  • identify common properties of metals (and some characteristics of metallic bonding)

  • understand how the Reactivity Series can be constructed by observing the reactivity of the some common metals

  • describe the reactions of Group 1 and 2 metallic elements with water

  • describe the reactions of some common metals with acid

  • describe displacement reactions and how they can be used to compare reactivity of metals

  • understand that more reactive metals form more stable compounds

  • use the reactivity series to predict the products of some reactions

  • understand the uses of some metals (and their alloys)
