Many metals that we use today are actually alloys. An alloy is a mixture of different metals that will usually change the properties of the alloy. For instance, small amounts of chromium, molybdenum and/or vanadium are added to steel to form a much stronger alloy compared to plain steel.
As Metallurgy continues to advance, newer metals (alloys) will continue to be found.
Also, sometimes metals don't stand out as metals (funny as that may sound). http://www.search.com/reference/Molybdenum has a reference to how molybdenum is so similar to graphite that for a long time it was mistakenly used as graphite before it was "officially discovered."
What else can I help you with?
Steps on how to carry up a displacement reaction?
Start with a more reactive metal or element and a less reactive metal or element in solution or in contact with each other. The more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its solution or compound, resulting in a new compound containing the more reactive metal and a separate less reactive metal. The displacement reaction follows the activity series of metals, where more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
What do you put metals in depending on how lively they are?
Metals can be arranged in an activity series based on their reactivity. More reactive metals are placed in a solution of less reactive metals to displace them and form a metal salt solution, while less reactive metals remain unreacted.
Is zinc less reactive with potassium based from activity series of metals?
Yes, zinc is LESS reactive than potassium based on the activity series.
Why are gold silver and platinum are called noble metals?
These metals (especially platinum and gold) are less chemically reactive.
Are transition metals on the periodic table reactive?
Transition metals tend to be less reactive than alkali metals or alkaline earth metals. They often form colorful compounds, have multiple oxidation states, and can act as catalysts in chemical reactions. However, some transition metals can still react with certain elements or compounds under the right conditions.
When were most reactive metals discovered?
Much more recently than the less reactive. The more reactive metals are not found free in anture but are all in chemical compounds, anf they are more difficult to extract.
Are alkaline-earth metals reactive?
Alkaline-earth metals are less reactive compared to alkali metals, but they still react with water and oxygen to form oxides and hydroxides. They are more reactive than transition metals but less reactive than alkali metals.
What are metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?
Transition metals such as copper, silver, and gold are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. These metals are less likely to react vigorously with water or air compared to alkali and alkaline-earth metals.
Steps on how to carry up a displacement reaction?

The more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its solution or compound, resulting in a new compound containing the more reactive metal and a separate less reactive metal. The displacement reaction follows the activity series of metals, where more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
Why The non-metals do not show displacement reaction?
Non-metals do not show displacement reactions because they are less reactive than metals. Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Since non-metals are not as reactive as metals, they are not typically displaced in reactions.
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are?
Almost all the rest of the metals.
What is the group of element that are less reactive?
alkaline earth metals
Metals that are less reactive that aklitlsnd alkaline earth-metals are called?
Metals that are less reactive than alkali and alkaline earth metals are called transition metals. They are typically less prone to reacting with other elements and have distinctive properties such as variable oxidation states and the ability to form colored compounds.
What do you put metals in depending on how lively they are?
Metals can be arranged in an activity series based on their reactivity. More reactive metals are placed in a solution of less reactive metals to displace them and form a metal salt solution, while less reactive metals remain unreacted.
Is most metals reactive.?
Most metals are reactive to some extent, but their reactivity varies. Some metals, such as gold and platinum, are less reactive and do not easily tarnish or corrode. Other metals, like sodium and potassium, are highly reactive and must be stored in oil to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are called?
I believe that the answer you are looking for is Transition Metals.
What generalizations can you make about transition metals?
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )
