Reactivity+of+Metals


 * Reactivity of Metals**

Some metals lose electrons more easily than others. Differences in chemical reactivity between two metals depend upon the relative ease with which the metals give up electrons.

One way to measure the reactivity of metals is to place a small piece of a pure metal in a solution containing an acid. You will perform this experiment by doing a simulation online.

Click on the link below the do the simulation. Record your observations in a table in your notebook. How do you know a reaction is taking place? Are some metals more reactive than others?


 * 1) The link below takes you to the Home page of the simulation.
 * 2) Click on Start.
 * 3) Click on Activity 1.
 * 4) Click on Activity 4.
 * 5) Run the Activity 4 simulation.
