metals Flashcards
metals lose electrons to….
metals lose electrons to become positive ions
more reactive = loses electrons more easily
alkali metals (group1) are soft, shiny,react with 02 easily, stored in oil
what happens when lithium reacts w water
effervescence, moving slowly
what happens when sodium reacts w water
moves around more, fizzes more, melts - turns into a sphere
what happens when potassium reacts w water
lights up lilac, still, fizzes vigorously, moves and floats, produces hydrogen
why do elements in the same group all react in a similar way?
due to having the same number of outer shell electrons
group one loses 1 electron whereas group 2 loses 2 electrons ect
as you go down group 1 & 2 does reactivity increases or decrease
increases
metal + water ->
metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hyrdogen
what happens when calcium reacts w acid
temp change - rlly warm, effervescence, fizzes the most, white solid formed
what happens when copper reacts w acid
nothing
what happens when magnesium reacts w acid
heats up - not as much as calcium, effervescence - less than calcium.dissolved,
what happens when zinc reacts w acid
slight bubble
metal + acid ->
metal + acid -> salt + hydrogen
what are reactions called if they release heat energy
exothermic reaction
group 1 metals are to reactive to add to acid in the lab
properties of metals and use
heat conductor, high melting point - pots and pans
electrical conductor - wires and chargers
ductile
strong, hard - construction
malleable, sonorous - musical instruments
when does a displacement reaction occur
a displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal in a metal compound
metals further apart in terms of reactivity will….
metals further apart in terms of reactivity will have a more vigorous reaction compared to metals closer together
reactivity series order and acronym to remember it
Potassium,sodium,lithium,calcium,magnesium,aluminium
,carbon,zinc,iron,tin,lead,hydrogen,copper,sliver,gold,platinum
please sir lancelot can my african crazy african zebra inspect the lab he can smell green pickles
metal ore definition
naturally occurring rocks that contain metal compounds with enough metal to make it economically worth extracting
native state definition and 3 examples
metal found uncombined in nature e.g. silver, platinum and gold
how can metals be extracted
using carbon in a reduction reaction
for reduction using carbon whats the only way it works
this only works with metals below carbon
using carbon advantage and disadvantage
cheap
CO2 - main contributor to global warning
