Types of reactions and reactivity of metals

Front

What is the reactivity series of metals?

Back

The reactivity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing reactivity. It helps predict how metals will react with other substances.

Front

Which metal is the most reactive according to the reactivity series?

Back

Lithium is the most reactive metal among common metals.

Front

What are the typical reactants in a combustion reaction?

Back

The typical reactants in a combustion reaction are fuel (such as hydrocarbons) and oxygen.

Front

What are the typical products of a combustion reaction?

Back

The typical products of a combustion reaction are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is a chemical change?

Back

A chemical change is a process where substances combine or break apart to form new substances with different properties.

Front

What is an example of evidence of a chemical change?

Back

Examples include color change, gas production, formation of a precipitate, or temperature change.

Front

What type of reaction occurs when one element replaces another in a compound?

Back

This is called a single replacement reaction.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction occurs when two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products.
