Does Gold can replace any metal in the reactivity series?
What is the reactivity series of metal while reacting with acid?
(a) What is meant by the reactivity series of metals? Arrange the following metals in an increasing order of their reactivities towards water:Zinc, Iron, Magnesium, Sodium (b) Hydrogen is not a metal but still it has been assigned a place in the reactivity series of metals. Why ? (c) Name one metal more reactive and another less reactive than hydrogen. (d) Name one metal which displaces copper from copper sulphate solution and one which does not. (e) Name one metal which displaces silver from silver nitrate solution and one which does not.
Describe with one example, how moderately reactive metals (which are in the middle of reactivity series) are extracted.
How are the less reactive metals (which are quite low in the reactivity series) extracted? Explain with the help of an example.
How does the method used for extracting a metal from its ore depend on the metal’s position in the reactivity series? Explain with examples.
Explain giving one example, how highly reactive metals (which are high up in the reactivity series) are extracted.
Identify the elements with the following property and arrange them in increasing order of their reactivity(a) An element which is a soft and reactive metal.(b) The metal which is an important constituent of limestone.(c) The metal which exists in a liquid state at room temperature.
List the five metals in order of reactivity, starting with the most reactive.
(a) State any three differences between the physical properties of metals and non-metals.(b) Differentiate between metals and non-metals on the basis of their chemical properties.
