THE CHEMISTRY OF METALS 2
Background
Generally, relative reactivity simply defines the process at which chemical
elements/compounds tend to react with that of other chemical elements/compounds. This process
undergoes a chemical reaction upon which the chemical species involved result in a formation of
new chemical species, which are entirely different from that of the reactants (Jordan, 2016, p. 100).
The degree of reactivity upon which these reactions could occur depends on the participating
chemical species. Other elements/compounds are able to react with themselves. Others, on the
other hand, are not able to proceed with the intended reaction due to a lower reactivity which
results in an inefficient displacement of an element in a compound.
Redox reaction is a form of a reaction process where the participating chemical species
undergo an oxidation-reduction process. During this process, a chemical species is reduced while
the other species on the reactants side is simultaneously oxidized (Amber & Lewis, 2017, p. 65).
Reduction occurs when the species gains electron(s). On the other hand, oxidation occurs when
the species loses electron(s). Redox reaction represents the key principles in the generation of
useful electrical work in the Galvanic cell.
The main objective of this is to be able to gain a deeper understanding of the relative
reactivity of the metals. As such, this paper would present the different reaction processes of
specific metals, and thereby establish signs of a chemical reaction. Moreover, this paper would
also provide the net ionic equation of the chemical species which were made to react. With this,
this report hypothesizes that not all metals would provide a successful reaction process. This
hypothesis corresponds to the altering reactivity of the different metals.
