Section D Case study based Question(Any One) 4
1) On the basis of reactivity of different metals with oxygen, water and acids as well as displacement reactions, the
metals have been arranged in the decreasing order of their reactivities. This arrangement is known as activity series
or reactivity series of metals. The basis of reactivity is the tendency of metals to lose electrons. If a metal can lose
electrons easily to form positive ions, it will react readily with other substances. Therefore, it will be a reactive metal.
On the other hand, if a meal loses electrons less rapidly to form a positive ion, it will react slowly with other
substances. Therefore, such a metal will be less reactive.

(a) Zinc (b) Magnesium (c) Sodium (d) Copper
4. Which of the following represents the correct order of reactivity for the given metals?
(a) Na > Mg > Al > Cu (b) Mg > Na > Al > Cu (c) Na > Mg > Cu > Al (d) Mg > Al > Na > Cu
2 Rusting of iron refers to the formation of rust, a mixture of iron oxides, on the surface of iron objects or structures.
This rust is formed from a redox reaction between oxygen and iron in an environment containing water (such as air
containing high levels of moisture). The rusting of iron is characterized by the formation of a layer of a red, flaky
substance that easily crumbles into a powder. This phenomenon is a great example of the corrosion of metals,
where the surfaces of metals are degraded into more chemically stable oxides. However, the term ‘rusting’ is
generally used to refer to the corrosion The exposure of iron (or an alloy of iron) to oxygen in the presence of
moisture leads to the formation of rust. This reaction is not instantaneous, it generally proceeds over a considerably
large time frame. The oxygen atoms bond with iron atoms, resulting in the formation of iron oxides. This weakens
the bonds between the iron atoms in the object/structure.
