Potassium,sodium, calcium
Which metals do not react at all
Lead, copper, silver, gold
2 equations to show sodium reacting with water
Sodium + water -> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen
How do metals react with acids?
Metal salt + hydrogen
What is oxidation?
Reactions where oxygen is added to a substance
An equation to show iron rusting?
4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3
What is reduction?
Where oxygen is taken away
What processes can help reduce the rusting of iron
Paint, coat in plastic, coat with oil,
What is a displacement reaction?
A displacement reaction is when a more reactive metal takes the place of a less reactant metal from a compound to form a new compound
Equation to show magnesium reacting with copper sulphate
My + CuSO4 -> MgSO4 + Cu
Sodium + iron nitrate ->
Sodium nitrate + iron
Zinc + copper sulphate ->
Zinc sulphate + copper
