  2. Learn about the processes that are related to extraction of metals and learn about the reactivity series with BBC Bitesize GCSE Chemistry (WJEC).

  3. The reactivity series can be split up to show how metals are extracted into three groups: Metals which are found in the pure crust. Reduction of metal oxides using carbon.

  4. The reactivity series shows metals in order of reactivity. The reactivity of a metal is related to its tendency to form positive ions. Iron and aluminium are extracted from their ores...

  5. The reactivity series of metals can be used to determine the method by which they're extracted from the ground. Anything that's more reactive than carbon needs electricity to help them be extracted. So this is extraction by electrolysis, a process called electrolysis, and you will learn about electrolysis later in your lessons.

  6. The most reactive metals will react with cold water: Products are a metal hydroxide (forming an alkaline solution) and hydrogen gas. E.g. with potassium: 2K + 2H2O -> 2KOH + H2. Fairly reactive metals react with acids: acid + metal → salt + hydrogen.

  7. Alkali metals such as potassium, sodium, and calcium are all highly reactive elements. Because of their low ionization energies, they easily shed their outermost electrons, generating positive ions. The diminishing strength of the metallic link retaining the outermost electron enhances reactivity as we proceed down the group. Transition Metals.

  8. Some metals react with water to produce a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Some metals react with oxygen to form a metal oxide. The reactivity series for metals shows how vigorously metals react, compared to each other. The higher the position of a metal in the reactivity series, the more vigorously it is likely to react.
