How do you test the reactivity of metals?
The reactivity of metals can be tested by observing their reaction with water, acids, or oxygen. More reactive metals will react vigorously and produce products such as hydrogen gas or metal oxides, while less reactive metals may not react at all or only react slowly. The reactivity series of metals can be used as a reference to determine their relative reactivity.
What elements react with oxygen?
Oxygen is an element and therefore is only contained by itself. However, it can be abstractly said that all elements with atomic numbers above eight "contain" oxygen, because if you removed enough neutrons, protons, and electrons from any element above 8, you would have oxygen. (Or at least, you would have an unstable atom).
Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?
No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. Only metals higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, will react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas. Metals like gold, silver, and platinum do not react with hydrochloric acid.
Which elements are most likely to react with other elements?
The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.
Do all metals react with acids to release hydrogen gas?
No: Only those metals that are higher in the electromotive series than hydrogen react with acids to release hydrogen gas. Examples of metals that never undergo this reaction are copper, silver, and gold. Also, even some metals that are higher than hydrogen in the electromotive series do not react rapidly enough to notice under ordinary conditions because of spontaneous formation of passive layers on their surfaces. Aluminum and austenitic stainless steels are examples of this group. These passivating metals will react, however, if their passive surfaces are broken by mechanical means.
Which metals don't react with water but react with oxygen?
Beryllium is the only alkaline metal that reacts to oxygen but not to water. The hydrogen in water stabilizes the reaction.
How do you test the reactivity of metals?

The reactivity series of metals can be used as a reference to determine their relative reactivity.
Why atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen does not react with each other?
because the molecules of oxygen only react at high temperatures
Which metal and acid would react together to give off oxygen?
Most metals react with acids to give off hydrogen. Only very nonreactive metals, like gold and platinum do not react with metals. An example would be: Calcium + Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium chloride + Hydrogen gas (Ca +2 HCl = CaCl2 + H2)
Will liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen react when blended?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen will only react at high temperatures.
What kind of element do metals react with?
They react with a oxydation reaction , forming oxydes. For example: Iron (Fe) reacts with the equation, 2 Fe(s) + O2(g) + 2 H2O(l) = 2 Fe(OH)2(s) Fe(OH)2 is rust. or with the formation of hydroxides: 2 Na + 2 H2O = 2 NaOH + H2
Other metals can react with oxygen gas to form ionic bonds?
Yes.. Metals do not have full valency shells so they must lose or gain electrons [to become like their nearest noble gas]. As long as the last shell is not full, it is possible - not only for metals but non-metals as well.
Do bases react with metals and produce hydrogen gas?
Only some metals; an example is aluminium.
What elements react with oxygen?
Oxygen is an element and therefore is only contained by itself. However, it can be abstractly said that all elements with atomic numbers above eight "contain" oxygen, because if you removed enough neutrons, protons, and electrons from any element above 8, you would have oxygen. (Or at least, you would have an unstable atom).
Can only acids dissolve metals?
No, bases can also react with some metals (ex.: aluminium and sodium hydroxide).
Do all metals react with hydrochloric acid to give hydrogen gas?
No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas. Only metals higher in the reactivity series than hydrogen, such as zinc, iron, and magnesium, will react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas. Metals like gold, silver, and platinum do not react with hydrochloric acid.
Do noble gases react with metals and non metals?
Nobles gasses will not react with metals or most nonmetals. Only a few noble gasses compounds exits, and none exist naturally. Noble gasses will only form compounds with fluorine and oxygen.
