Q

in the reaction between calcium and copper oxide,which atoms are oxidised and which are reduced?

A

the products of the reaction are calcium oxide and copper which means the calcium has gained oxygen(so oxidised) and the copper loses oxygen(so reduced)

Q

what determines how rapidly a metal reacts?

A

when metals react,they lose electrons and form positive ions.The higher up the reactivity series a metal is,the more easily it will form positive ions
