Question Answer
K Potassium Na Sodium
Ca Calcium These first three are too dangerous to reactwith acid, they react with water to give their corresponding Hydroxide and Hydrogen
Mg Magnesium Very slow reaction with cold water, reacts quickly with steam
Al Aluminium no reaction with water
Zn Zinc reacts with acid
Fe Iron MASH. Metal+Acid~Salt+Hydrogen
Pb Lead Cu Copper no reaction with water
Ag Silver No reaction with acid Kinky Natalia Can Make Any Zebra Feel Part (of) Cultivated Agriculture

Displacement Reactions - a metal is reactive if it combines easily with other elements eg Oxygen, Sulfur -Potassium is very reactive. It is NEVER found uncombined in the earth. It is always found as part of a compound. -Gold is very unreactive. It is often found in the earth uncombined - A reactive metal can displace a less reactive from its compound EG CuSO4 + Mg ~ MgSO4 + Cu CuSO4 + Fe ~ FeSO4 + Cu
