- Q1What does reactivity mean?how quickly a substance meltshow vigorously a substance changes statehow vigorously a substance chemically reactshow much substance is formed60s
- Q2How can metals be ordered by their reactivity?by observing how many non-metals it reacts withby comparing their reactions with other metalsby comparing their reactions with water, acid, or oxygenby comparing what happens when they are heated60s
- Q3What name is given to a list of metals ordered by their reactivity?the order of seriesreactivity programmereactivity seriesthe reaction list60s
- Q4In terms of electrons, what makes some metals more reactive than others?they gain outer shell electron(s) more easilythey fill up their inner shell(s) more easilythey lose their inner shell electron(s) more easilythey lose their outer shell electron(s) more easily60s
- Q5Why are gold and silver found naturally as elements in the Earth’s crust?they are very reactivethey are very rarethey are very unreactivethey are very expensive60s
- Q6What term is used to describe a rock containing enough of a metal compound to be economically worth extracting?a metal rocka crystalan orea precious rock60s
- Q7How are metals less reactive than carbon extracted from their ores?electrolysisaddition of carbon dioxidereduction with carbonoxidation with carbon60s
- Q8In terms of oxygen, what is oxidation?reaction with oxygenelectrolysis of oxygenremoval of oxygenaddition of oxygen60s
- Q9In terms of oxygen, what is reduction?addition of oxygenremoval of oxygenelectrolysis of oxygenreaction with oxygen60s
- Q10Why can metals like potassium and aluminium not be extracted by reduction with carbon?they are less reactive than carbonthey are less reactive than oxygenthey are more reactive than oxygenthey are more reactive than carbon60s
- Q11How are metals more reactive than carbon extracted from their ores?reduction with carbonoxidation with carbonremoval of oxygenelectrolysis60s
- Q12What is a displacement reaction?a more reactive substance takes the place of a less reactive substance in a compounda less reactive substance takes the place of a more reactive substance in a mixturea less reactive substance takes the place of a more reactive substance in a compounda more reactive substance takes the place of a less reactive substance in a mixture60s
- Q13What is an ionic equation?equation which gives some substances as ions and has spectator ions removedequation which shows all the spectator ions in a reactionequation which has all the ions showingequation which shows the addition or removal of oxygen60s
- Q14What type of substance is given as ions in an ionic equation?solid precipitates formed in the reactionionic compounds in solution (or liquid)gas elements formed in a reactionspectator ions60s
- Q15What is a spectator ion?catalysts not used up in a reactionwater that solutes are dissolved in but do not reaction that is unchanged in a reactionion that gain charge in a reaction60s
