> This is similar to the metal displacement reactions. > A more reactive metal will displace (take the place of) a less reactive metal in a metal salt solution. > Hence the displacement reaction is used to arrange the metals in the reactivity series. This is a reliable technique used, because aluminium is actually a reactive metal but due to the protective coating of aluminium oxide on it, the results may show that aluminium’s reactivity rate is slow. > To arrange the metals in the increasing or decreasing order of their reactivity one of the commonly used experiment is by checking their displacement rate. If the temperature of water, the amount of metal and the amount of water is kept constant, the rate of reactivity can be calculated. > Speed of reaction: We can calculate the speed of reaction of metals by allowing them to react with water at room temperature and collect the hydrogen gas obtained. > Non-Metals: The atoms of non-metals gains or shares electrons to form negative ions called anions, the atoms of non-metals if readily gains electrons it is said to be more reactive.

If the atom readily loses electron at room temperature it is said to be reactive metal than the metal whose atom does not readily lose electron at the room temperature. > Metals: The atoms of metal will always lose electrons to form positive ions called cations. The atoms react due to its tendency to lose, gain or share electrons. > The atoms of the elements in the periodic table react with each other to form new compounds (except noble gases).
