A | B |
metals | react to form positive ions |
non-metals | react to form negative ions |
noble gases | don't react so don't form ions |
ionic bond | + ions and - ions attract and bond |
covalent bond | non-metals share electrons |
silver | a grey shiny solid metal |
lithium | a soft white solid metal |
mercury | only liquid metal at room temperature |
acids | have formulae that start with H |
oxides | have formulae with just O at end |
hydroxides | OH at the end of formulae |
hydrogen | makes pop noise when lit |
metal + water reaction | makes hydrogen + metal hydroxide |
oxygen | reignites a glowing ember |
metal + acid reaction | makes hydrogen + metal salt |
salt | a metal and non-metal bonded together |
graphite carbon | a black brittle solid non-metal |
sulphur | a smelly yellow solid non-metal |
air | where we get oxygen for reactions |
metal + oxygen reaction | produces hydrogen + metal oxide |
how reactive a metal is | how much it fizzes, flashes, bubbles |
reactivity series | putting metals in order of how reactive they are |
