Chemical Properties of Metals
Chemical Properties of Metals: Overview
This topic explains that highly reactive metals react with to form metal hydroxides and gas. They form basic oxides on reaction with gas. They react with acids to form salt and gas. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
