AOI HUMAN INGENUITY Finding and Using Metals By: Aisha Al-Misnad 8D
Reactivity Aluminum: Not very reactive and has no reaction with water or steam. Sodium: Very reactive it is second in the reactivity series. Quite reactive with cold water forming slightly neutralize alkali calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Potassium: Very Reactive it is the most reactive metal. It reacts very quickly with cold water. Magnesium: Not very reactive and does not react with cold water.
Who discovered the metals? • Aluminum was discovered by Pierre Berthier. • Potassium was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy. • Sodium was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy. • Magnesium was discovered by Sir Humphry Davy.
Equations Aluminum: Aluminum+ water = lithium hydroxide + hydrogen gas Sodium: sodium + water = sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Potassium: Potassium + Water = Potassium Hydroxide + Hydrogen Magnesium: Magnesium + Water = Rubidium Hydroxide + Hydrogen
Protons, Neutrons and Electrons • Lithium: 3 Protons & Electrons with 4 neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. • Sodium:11 Protons & Electrons with 12 neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. • Potassium: 19 Protons & Electrons with 20 neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. • Magnesium:
Who created the periodic table? • I believe that the scientist that created the first periodic table is Dmitri Mendeleev. Dmitri was born in Verhnie Aremzyani village, near Tobolsk, to Ivan Pavlovich Mendeleev and Maria Mendeleev.
Does a connection or relationship exist between the reactivity of a metal and when it was discovered? • Generally, not reactive metals like gold are discovered a longer time ago at least longer than 1800 years ago. More reactive metals, like potassium and sodium are discovered later on, much later than gold, and they are more reactive. I think that it also has to do something with the shaping of the atoms and how dense they are.
Most Reactive Earliest Least Reactive Latest
Human Ingenuity • The reactivity of a metal was determined by a human invention. These scientists brought about change in terms of the reactivity of metals. • The scientists human ingenuity combined with scientific understanding led to extraordinary inventions as they came up with materials we did not know existed in our natural environment.
