9EF REACTIONS OF METALS AND THEIR COMPOUNDS
From QCA documents:
Most pupils will: identify and describe similarities in chemical reactions; identify differences in the reactivity of different metals and use these to explain some everyday uses
and occurrence of metals; represent chemical reactions by word equations. describe how metals react with acids and how acids react with metal carbonates, metal oxides and
alkalis; identify evidence which indicates that a chemical reaction has taken place; represent reactions by word equations, identify patterns in these and produce general
equations; name a variety of salts and describe the uses of some of them
Some pupils will not have made so much progress and will: describe how some metals react with water, acids and oxygen; give some uses of metals, relating these to the
reactivity of the metal. identify that hydrogen is produced when many metals react with acids, and carbon dioxide when acids react with carbonates, and describe tests for
hydrogen and carbon dioxide; state that the production of a new material is evidence of a chemical reaction
Some pupils will have progressed further and will: use the reactivity series to make predictions about the reactions of metals; relate the reactivity of a metal to its uses, how
it occurs and when it was first extracted and used; represent some reactions by symbol equations. represent chemical compounds by formulae and combine these into
symbol equations; use knowledge of reactions to make predictions about other reactions
ASSESSMENT
AF3,4 and 5 will be assessed by a lab report where pupils choose to investigate how one factor affects rate of reaction.
AF2 will be assessed by the upd8 Metal fuels activity.

metals and non-metals
Recap of year 8 work
 Pupils to colour periodic table to
show position of metals, metalloids
and non-metals
 Recap the meaning of element
ICT lab
Pupils research properties of metals and
non-metals
Extension: look
for unusual
metals and
non-metals that
do not have the
properties
To know that a metal oxide is
produced when metals react with
oxygen


To know that when a metal reacts
with an acid hydrogen and a salt
are produced.
Metals and acids
 Pupils react Magnesium, Zinc, Iron
and Copper with 0.1M HCl
 They write a conclusion putting the
metals in order of reactivity and write
word equations.

To know that metals can be put in
order of their reactivity
To understand that we can
observe reactions of metals with
various substances to investigate
their reactivity
Reactivity series
 Pupils fill in table using results from
their experiments so far.
 Video and demos of reactions with
oxygen.
 Try to write order in the last column.
 Show them the real reactivity series
To know that when an acid reacts
with a carbonate Carbon dioxide,
water and a salt are produced.
To be able to name some
examples of carbonates
Acids and carbonates
 Pupils do experiments with HCl and
chalk, marble, bicarbonate and
indigestion tablets
