What are the least reactive in the reactivity series
Copper silver and gold
What is oxidisation
Oxygen has been added and electrons have been lost
What is reduction
Oxygen has been removed an element returns to normal atomic state
What is an ore
A rock that contains enough of a metal to make it worthwhile extracting
What does a metal reacting with water produce
A metal hydroxide and water
What metals do not react with water
Not very reactive ones
Eg copper
What is a displacement reaction
When a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal in a compound
What is OIL RIG
Oxidised is Loss
Reduction is gained
What happens when an acid reacts with a base
Neutralisation reaction occurs
What is produced in a neutralisation reaction
Salt and water
How else can you make a soluble salt
Reacting acid and a carbonate
What ions do acids produce
H+
Give an example of a base
Metale oxides and hydroxides
