The Reactivity of Metals

Today’s Objectives

By the end of this lesson, you will:

know that some metals are more reactive than others

understand what happens in displacement reactions

be able to work out the products of displacement reactions

Objectives: to know that some metals are more reactive than others

The Reactivity of Metals

The Reactivity of Metals

Objectives: to know that some metals are more reactive than others

Reactivity – a measure of how readily and violently a substance will react with another substance

Grrrunt!!!Please Potassium

Stop Sodium

Calling Calcium

My Magnesium

Zebra Zinc

In Iron

Class, Copper

She Silver

Grunts! Gold

To help us remember…

Objectives: to know that some metals are more reactive than others

The Reactivity of Metals

The Reactivity of Metals

Objectives: to understand what happens in displacement reactions

Displacement – when a more reactive metal takes the place of another one in a compound

Objectives: to understand what happens in displacement reactions

The Reactivity of Metals

Angelina is more reactive than Jennifer….

…so Angelina displaces Jennifer and wins Brad!

Objectives: to understand what happens in displacement reactions

The Reactivity of MetalsWhat about a real chemical reaction…?

…Magnesium and Copper Sulphate

Magnesium + CopperSulphate

Copper + Magnesium Sulphate
