A chemical reaction where a more reactive element kicks out a less reactive one from a compound.

A list of metals arranged in order of their reactivity, from most reactive to least reactive.

A more reactive element will displace a less reactive element from a compound. This only happens if the element doing the swapping is more reactive.

A single displacement reaction where a metal displaces another metal from a compound.

A single displacement reaction where a nonmetal displaces another nonmetal from a compound.

A chemical reaction where a metal reacts with a dilute acid to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.

A reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution.

Metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series can displace hydrogen from dilute acids.

A reaction where two reactants swap ions to form two new products.

A double displacement reaction that forms an insoluble solid (precipitate).

A double displacement reaction between an acid and a base, producing salt and water.

The process of a solid forming in a solution during a chemical reaction, often appearing as a cloudy suspension.

A chemical reaction where an acid reacts with a metal oxide to produce salt and water.

The process of adding an alkali to a solution to neutralize an excess of acid.

A substance that helps neutralize excess acid in the stomach to relieve indigestion.

A type of chemical reaction where an acid reacts with a metal hydroxide to produce salt and water.

A compound formed when oxygen combines with other elements.

Oxides of non-metals that can typically dissolve in water to form acidic solutions.

Oxides that form basic solutions when mixed with water.

A reaction where a metal reacts directly with oxygen to form a metal oxide.

A more reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal in a compound.

The reaction between copper and silver nitrate forms copper nitrate and silver. The solution turns blue due to copper nitrate formation, and silvery metal deposits indicate the presence of silver.

The reaction between iron and copper sulfate forms iron sulfate and copper. The blue solution turns light green due to iron sulfate formation, and reddish-brown metal deposits indicate the presence of copper.

A reaction between zinc and lead nitrate forms zinc nitrate and lead. A dark gray solid deposit on zinc indicates the presence of lead.

Similar to previous examples, Magnesium and Copper sulfate react to form Magnesium sulfate and copper. The blue solution turns colorless due to magnesium sulfate formation, and reddish-brown metal deposits indicate the presence of copper.

In reactions involving metals and cold water like Sodium and Potassium, a highly exothermic reaction occurs. Hydrogen gas is produced, igniting and creating a characteristic flame. Sodium produces a golden yellow flame, while Potassium produces a lilac flame.

The reaction is similar to the previous one, but with hot water instead of cold water. Metals like magnesium, aluminum, zinc, and iron can react with steam, producing hydrogen gas and metal oxide.

Metals below hydrogen in the reactivity series (like copper, mercury, silver, gold, and platinum) cannot displace hydrogen from water. They are less reactive than hydrogen. They are unaffected by water.

The reaction of an acidic oxide with water to form an acid.

The reaction of a basic oxide with water to form a base.

Oxides that show both acidic and basic properties, reacting with both acids and bases to form water and salts. Examples include zinc oxide (ZnO), lead oxide (PbO), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3).

Oxides of nonmetals that are oxygen-poor. They have neither acidic nor basic properties. Examples include carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrous oxide (N2O).

A blue dye used to test the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It turns red in acidic solutions and remains blue in basic solutions.

A colorless indicator that turns pink in basic solutions.
