Select the correct chemical properties of metals.

• react with steam to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen

• react with cold water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen

• react with acids to form salt and hydrogen

• a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound

Draw a diagram that represents an alloy.

When a different​ (a)   is added, the​ (b)   arrangement of the atoms in pure metal is disrupted by a few atoms of a ​ (c)   size of the other element. The layers of ​ (d)   can no longer slide over one another, making alloys harder and stronger.
