  • Reactions
    • Reaction with Oxygen
      • metal+oxygen--- metal oxide
        • sodium + oxygen --- sodium oxide
    • oxidation reactions
      • defined as a reaction where a substance gains oxygen
    • Reaction with dilute acids
      • only metals that are more reactive than hydrogen
      • metal + acid -- metal salt + hydrogen
        • potassium + hydrochloric acid --- potassium chloride + hydrogen
    • What happens to a metal atom when it reacts?
      • when sodium atoms react with oxygen they form positive ions
      • when calcium atoms react with water they become 2 plus ions
      • when zinc atoms react with hydrochloric acid they form 2 plus ions
      • they greater tendency to lose or gain an electron the more reactive it is
    • Displacement reactions
      • reaction where a more reactive element takes the place of a less reactive element
      • aluminium + iron oxide ---- aluminium oxide + iron
      • used to weld railway lines together
