Answer section This will take you through the same questions again, showing you the answers, with some explanation Click here to start answer section

Q1. Which metal is most reactive ? Potassium reacts violently with water – even bursting into flames. D. Potassium

Q2. Which metal is least reactive ? Gold is very unreactive. This explains why gold coins can be dug up or found in shipwrecks after centuries. B. gold

Q3. Which metal reacts slowly with water? Iron goes rusty. The formation of rust is actually a reaction between iron, water and oxygen. C. iron

Q4. Which metal would explode in acid ? Potassium is very reactive. It reacts with just water – so it is possible that it will explode with acid. D. potassium

Q5. Which metal is at the bottom of the reactivity series? Gold is very unreactive so it is at the bottom of the reactivity series B. gold

Q6. Which metal in the list is just below lithium in the reactivity series ? Iron reacts with water but it does not do so as quickly as lithium. So it is below lithium in the reactivity series. C. iron

Q7. Which metal is used for water pipes because it is unreactive? Copper does not react with water so it is used in water pipes. (Lead used to be used but it was found to make the water slightly poisonous) A. copper

Q8. Which metal is NOT in the centre of the Periodic Table? Potassium is an alkali metal and these are on the left of the Periodic Table. D. potassium

Q9. Which metal is most likely to be found in a compound, not as an element? A reactive element is always trying to make compounds. So, potassium is very unlikely to be found as an element. D. potassium

Q10. Which metal could you safely use to displace copper from copper sulphate? Iron is above copper in the reactivity series so it will displace it from copper sulphate. Potassium would also displace the copper - but this would not be a safe reaction to try ! C. iron
