6
Q
What happens when metals react?
A
They lose electrons and form positive ion
7
Q
The reactivity of a metal depends on?
A
Its ability to lose electrons and form positive ions
8
Q
What is a displacement reaction?
A
When a more reactive element, pushes out, a less reactive element from its compound
