what metals dont react with water=
gold,platinum and silver dont react with water as much as other metals when in contact with water
metals react with water to form metal hydroxide+hydrogen
hydrogen oxygen when by itself..
only exists as a molecule with 2 atoms e.g 02 or H2
when joined it can be 0 or H
define molecule-
2 or more atoms joined or bonded tightly together
effervescence-
bubbles of gas forming
faster the bubbles in a metal reaction
the more reactive the metal is
what metals are reactive with water=
potassium sodium calcium
what metals in the series are non-metals
hydrogen and carbon
which metals in the series are unreactive
copper, silver, gold and platinum
why doesnt alluminium rust?
