What metal is used in the reaction of metal and air?

Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air


Which element is a low density metal that reacts quickly with water?

The 1st group elements i.e. Lithium,Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium are all low density metals and they react violently with water.


What is formed when sulfur reacts with a metal?

When sulfur reacts with a metal, a metal sulfide salt is usually formed.


What are ten examples of reactions between metal and nonmetal?

Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.


When an alkali metal reacts with water it produces what?

When an alkali metal reacts with water, it produces an alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This is a highly exothermic reaction, with the alkali metal displacing hydrogen from the water molecule.

Which metal reacts quickly with water and acids?

The most reactive metal is francium (Fr). However, it is impossible to gather any sufficient quantity of francium to demonstrate this reactivity. The other alkali metals, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium will all react rapidly, even explosively with water.
