  1. Reactivity series

  2. Reactions of metals with oxygen METAL + OXYGEN METAL OXIDE • Copy and complete the following reactions: • Magnesium + oxygen • Copper + oxygen • Calcium + oxygen • Iron + oxygen When a metal reacts with oxygen it will form a METAL OXIDE. This is what happens when a metal rusts. We can make this reaction happen quicker by burning the metal.

  3. Reactions of metals with water METAL + WATER METAL OXIDE + HYDROGEN METAL + WATER METAL HYDROXIDE + HYDROGEN • Copy and complete the following reactions: • Sodium + water • Potassium + water • Calcium + water • Iron + steam When a metal reacts with water hydrogen is always given off. The other product will be either a metal hydroxide or a metal oxide.

  4. Reactions of metals with acids METAL + ACID SALT + HYDROGEN e.g. magnesium + hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride + hydrogen • Copy and complete the following reactions: • Calcium + hydrochloric acid • Zinc + hydrochloric acid • Iron + hydrochloric acid • Lithium + sulphuric acid When a metal reacts with an acid it gives off hydrogen (which can be “popped” using a lit splint). The other product is a salt.

  5. Complete the following reactions: • Lithium + water • Lithium + hydrochloric acid • Silver + oxygen • Magnesium + sulphuric acid • Potassium + oxygen • Aluminium + oxygen • Manganese + water • Sodium + sulphuric acid • Lithium + oxygen • Nickel + hydrochloric acid Lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Lithium chloride + hydrogen Silver oxide Magnesium sulphate + hydrogen Potassium oxide Aluminium oxide Manganese oxide + hydrogen Sodium sulphate + hydrogen Lithium oxide Nickel chloride + hydrogen
