| 5. | The costly method of extraction needed to produce very reactive metals. (12) | | 6. | Sodium does this as it floats and reacts with water. (5) | | 7. | The compounds formed when elements burn in oxygen. (6) | | 8. | The reactive part of air that corrodes metals! (6) | | 9. | A useful metal, once got from Cornwall, used to coat the inside of steel food cans to stop rusting. (3) | | 10. | The physical description of copper oxide. (5,5) | | 12. | The final universal indicator colour when sodium has finished
reacting with water! (6, not violet) | | 15. | The word describing the type of reaction: zinc + copper sulphate ==> zinc sulphate + copper (12) | | 17. | You do NOT put this soft metal in acid!!!! (6, and NOT cesium!) | | 20. | This means to get the metal from its ore. (7) | | 22. | Salt formed when
magnesium carbonate dissolves in hydrochloric acid (9,8) | | 23. | Its a pity it rusts so easily! (4) | | 25. | Sodium is kept under this because it is so reactive to oxygen and water. (3) | | 27. | Formed by reacting copper oxide with nitric acid (6,7) |
|
Down: |

order of metals we get from seeing how fast they react with water or acids (10,6) | | 3. | Used as yellow money!!!!! (4) | | 4. |
Collecting scrap iron and steel is to (7)? a useful metal. | | 11. | A metal that is not very reactive until you do the thermit reaction! (9) | | 13. | An indicator for every solution? (9) | | 14. | The call-sign of a well known gas next to a lit splint!! (3) | | 16. | The black compound formed when an orange metal is heated in air. (6,5) | | 18. | Storing this in cans leads to corrosion unless the tin is coated! | | 19. | When metals are (4)? in the 'series' they react fast! | | 21. | The gas formed when metals react with acids or water. (8) | | 24. | An orange-brown powder, such a waste of iron! (4) | | 26. | When metals are (3)? in the reactivity series they are usually easier to extract. |
