Chemical Changes Flashcards
Metal oxides are?
The product of the oxidation reaction of Metal and Oxygen.
Metal produces what form of ion?
Positive ions
What is a displacement reaction?
A reaction when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal.
How does Potassium react when exposed to water?
Violently
How does Sodium react when exposed to water?
Very Quickly
How does Lithium react when exposed to water?
Quickly
How does Calcium react when exposed to water?
More Slowly
How does Calcium react when exposed to dilute acid?
Very quickly
How does Magnesium react when exposed to dilute acid?
Quickly
How does Zinc react when exposed to dilute acid?
More slowly than magnesium
How does Iron react when exposed to dilute acid?
More slowly than zinc
How does Copper react when exposed to dilute acid?
Very slowly
How does Silver react when exposed to dilute acid?
Barely reacts
How does Gold react when exposed to dilute acid?
No reaction
How is the order of reactivity affected?
Via a metals tendency to form its positive ion.
Why are most metals found as compounds?
As most, unlike gold, are reactive enough to bond to other elements?
How are most metals less reactive than carbon extracted?
Reduction with Carbon
