Metals and Reacticity Series. Rustung Of Iron Flashcards
(34 cards)
Properties of non-metals:
5
Do not conduct electricity Low melting and boiling point Soft crumbly solids Gases/liquids at room temperature Brittle
Properties of metal :
5
Shinny Malleable Good conductors of heat and electricity Ductile Sonorous
Uses of metal Aluminium- Copper- Iron- Tin-
Uses of metal
• Aluminium- aeroplanes - light
• Copper- electrical wires - good conductor
• Iron- train tracks and drain covers - strong
• Tin- tin cans - interactive
Metals have delocalised electrons….
Metals have delocalised electrons which move around the structure and carry the current.
Why are metals malleable ?
The atoms are in a regular arrangement rows of atoms can be forced to slide over one another.
Metals react with oxygen to make …
Alkaline oxides
Non-metals react with oxygen to make …
Acidic oxides
Copper + oxygen
Copper oxide
Magnesium + oxygen
Magnesium oxide
Metals that ready with water are
Potassium
Sodium
Lithium
Francium
Once metals react with water they produce …
hydroxides
Potassium + water
Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
Magnesium + water
Magnesium oxide + hydrogen
Magnesium + hydrochloric acid
Magnesium chloride + hydrogen
Sulphuric acid
Sulphate
Potassium + sodium oxide
Potassium oxide + sodium
Reactivity series :
Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold
Periodic table groups and periods
Groups = down Period = across
Now gases are the the last group in the periodic table they are ….
Unreactive gases
Why are noble gases Unreactive ?
They already have full shells of electrons so there is no need to react to get full shells.
