Metals are reactive because they tend to .......... electrons to form positive ions.

Why are metals at the top of the reactivity series more reactive than those at the bottom?

When magnesium is added to copper sulfate solution, magnesium .......... the copper because magnesium is more reactive.

True or False? Aluminium reacts as vigorously as expected from its position in the reactivity series.

In a displacement reaction, the more reactive metal .......... electrons to the ions of the less reactive metal in solution.

What observations would you make when iron is added to copper sulfate solution?

What is the reactivity series?

The reactivity series in order from most to least reactive is: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, .........., zinc, iron, hydrogen, copper, silver, gold.

How do you use the reactivity series to predict whether a displacement reaction will occur?

A metal placed .......... hydrogen in the reactivity series will not react with dilute acids.

True or False? Carbon and hydrogen are included in the reactivity series even though they are not metals.

Potassium, sodium and calcium react with cold water to produce a metal hydroxide and .......... gas.

Explain why aluminium appears less reactive than its position in the reactivity series suggests.
