chemistry changes Flashcards
when metals react..
their atoms lose electrons to form positive metal ions
is metals lose electrons more easily =
they are more reactive
top of reactivity series =
lithium
sodium
potassium
bottom of period table
copper, gold
displacement reactions
-a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal
oxidation
is loss of electrons
reduction
is gain of electrons
method of extraction
depends on how reactive it is
pH scale
a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution
pH 7
neutral
(GREEN)๐
pH >7
acidic
(RED)โค๏ธ
pH <7
alkaline
(PURPLE)๐
pH scale measured:
using pH probe or universal indicator
indicators
dyes that change colour depending on what solutions they are in
soluble bases=
alkalis
