Reactions of Metals 01

Metals form a reactivity series which can be used to predict their reactions. The most reactive metals, such as sodium, will react with cold water to produce hydrogen and the metal hydroxide. See how much you know from your Science lessons with this quiz.

Which of these options do you prefer?

  1. Metals are .......

  2. The metals lithium, sodium and potassium (which react with cold water) are found in which group of the periodic table?

  3. Some acid is put onto strips of metal. What would you see if the metals react?

  4. If a metal reacts with a dilute acid, the products will be .......

  5. A metal which has been used for pipes and in coins because it has little reaction with air or water is .......

  6. Magnesium ribbon reacts with acid. It will react more vigorously if .......

  7. Reactive metals can take the place of a less reactive metal in some reactions. This is known as .......

  8. Zinc is more reactive than copper, so can take its place in a reaction with copper sulphate. Which is the correct word equation?

  9. Metal carbonates react with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas. It can be tested for using .......
