Study Notes
Reactivity Series
- Students will learn to predict which metals will displace other metals from a solution of their salts using the reactivity series.
- Students will carry out displacement reactions.
Getting Started
- Discuss with a partner how to identify a chemical reaction.
- Share ideas with another pair.
- Be prepared to share ideas with the class.
- Key words: reactivity, reactivity series, displacement reaction
Reactivity Series (Details)
- Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Silver (Ag), Gold (Au) are listed in order of reactivity.
- More reactive metals are at the top of the series.
- Less reactive metals are at the bottom of the series.
- Metals higher in the series can displace metals lower in the series from solutions of their salts.
- Reactivity can be determined by observing reactions with oxygen, water (or steam), and dilute acid.

Description
This quiz explores the reactivity series of metals and how it influences displacement reactions in solutions. Students will learn to predict which metals can displace others based on their position in the series. Engaging activities will help solidify understanding through discussions and practical examples.
