Chemistry Temple - where Buddha's legs are: Reactivity Series

Yoz, everybody,

Let's recap what we have learnt this week:

1. The reactivity series ranks the reactivity of various metals [More reactive at the top]. (Remember to come up with your own acronym)

2. The more reactive metals are able to DISPLACE the less reactive ones from their oxides or their salt solutions.

To help you visualise what happens at the atomic level during displacement of metals from the salt solution, go to the following website:

For additional notes, you could go to this website:

Lastly, remember to plan your experiment (i.e. SPA) before coming for lab next lesson. You would only have 10 mins to complete the experimentation.

Enjoy!
