The Behaviour of Metals and Making use of Metals
  1. Place in order of reactivity:
    1. potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, hydrogen, copper,silver and glod.
    2. Compare the reactivity series to the tendency of a metal to form its positive ion, illustrated by its reaction
      1. Metals lose electrons. So they form a positive ion.
      2. Describe the use of carbon in the extraction of some metals from their ores
        1. Carbon is more reactive than Iron Lead and zinc so you can use it to extract them from their ores. You but the ore of iron (hematite) in a blast furnace for example and then you add carbon. A reaction will take place and since the carbon is more reactive than the iron it will displace the iron. Now you have the element iron.
        2. Relate the method of extraction of a metal from its ore to its position in the reactivity series
          1. Metals above carbon in the reactivity series are extracted by electrolysis. Metals below carbon are usually extracted by heating their corresponding metal oxide with carbon.
          2. Describe the essential reactions in the extraction of iron in the blast furnace
            1. Iron is extracted from iron ore in a huge container called a blast furnace. Iron ores such as haematite contain iron oxide. The oxygen must be removed from the iron oxide to leave the iron behind. Reactions in which oxygen is removed are called reduction reactions
              1. iron oxide + carbon → iron + carbon dioxide 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2. In this reaction, the iron oxide is reduced to iron, and the carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide
              2. Explain the use of aluminum in aircraft manufacture in terms of the properties of the metal and alloys made from it
                1. Pure aluminum is too weak for making aircraft parts but low-density alloys made from it are much stronger. This means that they can withstand the stresses in an aircraft. The low density means the aircraft has a relatively low mass that saves fuel costs and is generally beneficial for flight
                2. Explain why metals are often used in the form of alloys
                  1. Improvement in corrosion resistance and mechanical properties such as strength
                  2. Identify and interpret diagrams that represent the structure of an alloy
                    1. That particle cannot slide over each other as easily as in a single metal because of the regular structure is disrupted.
