11 chem week 7 activity series and test

hey yall its li again     lets go straight into it


this week was test review.  plus the lab task and activity series.  


the lab task was interesting.  i got to dip metals into solutions of other metals.  if the piece of metal came out of the solution coated in the metal that was actually in the solution, then the piece of metal is more reactive than the metal in the solution; if not, the solution metal is stronger.  when all three tests had been completed, i got to make my own basic activity series, in which i showed the reactivity of metals from most to least.  as i stated last week, magnesium was the most reactive, while silver was least.  however, in the next module i was given an actual activity series, and i saw that lithium was more reactive than magnesium.  

ah yes, the wonders of the alkali metals.  they are easy to obtain and incredibly destructive in large quantities.  perfect.

single displacement reactions will not occur if the single metal is less reactive (based on the metal activity series) than the bonded metal.  in this case, a reaction is written as NR.  this also occurs with halogen metals, where the activity series can be remembered as "the top halogen on the periodic table is the most reactive and the bottom is the least".

i really need to bring him back... he is far better at this and i need you to like me.

next week.  also next week i will make him report on peroxides to see what he can learn quickly.


we have spread amongst you now.  we are in your minds.
