How can you use an activity series of elements to predict whether a given reaction will occur and what the products will be?
An activity series is used to predict whether metals will displace hydrogen gas from water and acid solutions. It is also used to predict whether metals will displace other metals.
What are the applications of double displacement reactions?
Double displacement reactions were used by the chinese to make soap in ancient times, today these reactions are used in making paints.
What are displacement reactions used to provide?
heat energy
The activity series is used when predicting equations of what type?
Activity series are useful for single displacement reactions.
Which of an atom's electrons are involved in the chemical reactions?
transition metals b/c some, such has iron, have an incomplete 3d sublevel as well as a complete 4s level that are used in reactions

What metal is used in nuclear reactions?
The following metals are involved in nuclear reactions. The preferred metal is Uranium 235. The next one is Plutonium 239. Important radioactive metals are Thorium and Cobalt 60. Important radioactive elements that are not metals include Radon and Iodine.
What metallic element is used medically?
Humans need a some amount of certain metals to function normally. Most metals are used as cofactors in enzymes, catalyzing useful reactions and serving important roles.

What is the link between displacement reaction and the reactivity series?
the reactivity series lists elements in order from most reactive to least reactive. in a displacement reaction, a more reactive element will "displace" a less reactive element in a compound, the reactivity series can therefore be used to determine which displacement reactions are possible.
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a halogen?
.)They are used in neon signs due to their colours produced by reactions .)They are the most reactive "NON-METALS"
What is the industrial importance of a displacement reaction?
The industrial importance of displacement reaction is that it helps in extraction of substance/ material from their ore. For instance, Aluminium is used to remove Iron from its compound (Iron Oxide) resulting in a pure Iron that can be used to join railway lines together.
What Are Metals Manufactured From?
A few metals are found 'native', that is as the metal and only need separating from the surrounding materials, e.g. gold and silver. Most metals have to be chemically extracted from whatever compounds we can find. Iron is often found as its oxide and is extracted by heating with coke and limestone in a blast furnace. Sodium is found as sodium chloride and we obtain it by electrolysis of the melt. The method used depends on what will work and what it costs. Methods include displacement by carbon (coke), displacement by another metal, and electrolysis.
What reactions would be predicted by the activity series list?
A metal replaces a metallic ion below it on the list.
