Flashcards
Displacement Reaction
Displacement Reaction
A chemical reaction where a more reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal in a compound. It's like a competition where the stronger metal 'steals' the oxygen.
Exothermic Reactions
Exothermic Reactions
Reactions that release heat energy into the surroundings.
Reactivity Series of Metals
Reactivity Series of Metals
The order of metals based on their reactivity. The higher a metal is on the series, the more easily it reacts.

Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve reactants forming products.
- Reactant amounts decrease during the reaction, while product amounts increase.
- Signs of a chemical reaction include:
- Color change
- Temperature change (heat release/absorption)
- Gas production (bubbles/fizz)
- Formation of a precipitate (solid formation in a liquid)
- Change in odor
- Light or sound production
- Irreversibility (e.g., burning a match)
Properties of Metals
-
Physical Properties:
- Strong and malleable (can be hammered into shapes)
- Ductile (can be stretched into wires)
- Sonorous (produce a ringing sound when struck)
- Shiny when polished
- Conductors of electricity and heat
- High melting and boiling points (most are solid at room temperature - mercury is an exception).
- High density (feel heavy)
-
Chemical Properties:
- React with oxygen to form oxides
- Form positive ions, losing electrons
Metal Reactivity
- Reactive metals readily form compounds.
- Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal in a compound.
- Metal reactions with water or oxygen are highly variable
- Example: Potassium explodes, sodium fizzes, magnesium glows.
- Example: Iron rusts, magnesium burns with a bright white flame
- Exothermic reactions are those that release heat.
- Reactivity series: Metals are ranked based on their reactivity. Reactivity influences displacement reactions with acids/other metal reactions, and determines extraction methods.
