10.4The reactivity series

The pattern of metal reactions with acids is ........................................... their pattern of reactions with water, and with oxygen.

• similar to

• different from

Which metals react vigorously with water and oxygen?

• Potassium, sodium, and lithium

• Zinc, iron, and lead

• Calcium and magnesium

• Silver, gold, and platinum

Which metals have the next most vigorous reactions, after Potassium, sodium, and lithium?

• Zinc, iron, and lead

• Calcium and magnesium

• Silver, gold, and platinum

Which metals react slowly (or not at all) with dilute acids and cold water.?

• Zinc, iron, and lead.

• Calcium and magnesium.

• Silver, gold, and platinum.

• Calcium and magnesium.

Which metals burn in air, but their reactions are less vigorous than those of magnesium?

• Zinc, iron, and lead.

• Calcium and magnesium.

• Silver, gold, and platinum.

• Calcium and magnesium.

Which metals do not react with water, dilute acids, or oxygen at normal conditions.?

• Zinc, iron, and lead.

• Calcium and magnesium.

• Silver, gold, and platinum.

• Calcium and magnesium.

What is the reactivity series?

• A list of metals in order of their weight

• A list of metals in order of how vigorous their reactions are

• A list of metals in order of their melting point

• A list of metals in order of their color

The metals at the top of the reactivity series ....................................

• are less reactive than the ones at the bottom.

• are very vigorous reactions/ the most reactive.

• are unreactive.

Going down the reactivity series, the metals get gradually ....................................

• more reactive.

• less reactive.

The metals are the bottom of the reactivity series ..................................

• more reactive.

• less reactive.

• unreactive.
