Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can compare the reactions of different metals with water and dilute acids in order to work out the reactivity series for metals.
Show transcript
A more reactive element will replace a less reactive element in a compound (displacement).
The more easily a metal atom forms a positive ion, the more reactive it is.
Some metals react with acid to produce a metal salt and hydrogen gas.
Some metals react with water to produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Carbon is a non-metal element often included in the reactivity series between aluminium and zinc.
