Do metals react with other metals?

Answer 1

Metals cannot react with each other individually. They may only displace each other from their metal salts depending on their lace on the reactivity series.

E.g AgCl + Na ---> NaCl (table salt) + Ag(silver metal)

This is known as a displacement reaction.

When we hear the name stainless steal or brass and it is a combination of metals, they aren't actually reacted but combined like a mixture. You can say it is like making a cake e.g stainless steal is a combination of iron, nickel and chromium.

Answer 2

non metals will gain an electron from the metal and the metal will give the electron to the non metal. the metals like to lose them and non metals like to gain them

you can think of it as the girl is the non metal gaining all the flowers and food from the guy (metal) on a date. at least that's how its SUPPOSE to go......

Answer 3

When you mix two metals together when they are both liquid and then let them solidify, that is called an alloy. Alloys are very important in industry because without special materials, like alloys, things like jet engines or computer hard drives would be imposible to make.

Answer 4

It depends on the metal. Lithium is very reactive, reacting almost immediately with the oxygen in the air to form black lithium oxide. On the other hand, platinum does not react easily at all.

Answer 5

Yes it is called an ionic Compound. Cation plus anion.

Answer 6

No. But they do form alloys, but these are mixtures, not chemical compounds.

Answer 7

yes, but depending on what level of chemistry your in your teacher might tell you other wise to lessen your confusion. Chances are since your asking this question your teacher would say no.

Answer 8

no
