GHC Metal Reactivity and Periodicity Project

Part A:

Follow the example of sodium chloride as you fill out this table. Using the information given, fill in the empty columns below.

Part B:

• Activity series is prepared by comparing single-displacement reactions between metals.
• Based on observations, the metals can be ranked by their reaction ability.
• However, reactivity can be explained by the ease with which atoms of metals lose electrons.

Using information from the activity series, identify the locations in the periodic table of the most and least reactive metals. Using your knowledge of electron configurations and periodic trends, infer possible explanations for the metals’ reactivity and position in the periodic table.

Part C:

Write two of your sample problems describing how to solve a mass-mass problem.

Assume that other students will use your sample problems to learn how to solve mass-mass problems.

Include the problem, the step-by-step process to solve the problem, and the solution.
