Chemical Change Flashcards
In oxidation
Loss of electrons
Often gains oxygen
In reduction
Gain if electrons
Often loses oxygen
What always occur together
Oxidation and reduction
Metals form with oxygen to form
Metal oxides
When metals react they
Lose electrons to form positive metal ions
The more easily a metal atom loses electrons, the more
Reactive it is
Metals react with acids to produce
Metal salt and hydrogen
In displacement reactions
A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from a solution of its salt
Extraction of metal depends on
How reactive it is
When substances dissolve in water they..
Dissociate into their individual ions
Hudroxide ions make solutions
Alkaline
Hydrogen ions make solutions
Acidic
The ph scale is a measure of
The acidity or alkalinity of a aqueous soloution
Soliciting with ph 7 is
Neutral
Less than PH 7 is
Acidic
