By the end you’ll be able to

Use the reactivity series (including carbon and hydrogen) to predict the reactions of metals with water and dilute acids and in displacement reactions
Explain why metals less reactive than carbon are extracted by reduction with carbon and more reactive metals by electrolysis
Define oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen and (HT) electrons, and write ionic equations and half equations for displacement reactions
