Miss Ige, kindly lead the prayer. Ige: Yes teacher. Okay classmates please rise.
In the name of the father, the son, and holy spirit,
amen. Lord God we thank you for your presence
in our midst. We pray that you prepare us all for
the lesson and that we will be able to learn new
things and become better persons. Amen.
Thank you Miss Ige. Okay class, you may all be (The class takes their seats)
seated.
Now class, I want you to look at the pictures on (The class looks at the pictures)
the screen.
Yes, Very good. Now let me ask you, are they real Class: Real/ Fake
or fake?
Why can you say it is real or fake? Class: Because of the color, teacher.
Because of the design.
Based on your experience, how do people know if Class: They use a liquid teacher. If it bubbles, then
a piece of jewelry is made of real gold or silver? it is fake.
That’s correct.
B. Presentation
This morning, we will be discussing the order by
which acids and other metals react with metals in
what is called the “Activity Series for Metals”
C. Discussion
If the arrow, represents activity or activeness, Student: Since the arrow is going up, then the
what is the patter of activeness of the metals? activeness of the metals increases from bottom up.
Answers:
1. Lithium
2. Sodium
3. Potassium
4. Silver
Which between the two do you think is an active The Sodium in soltuion.
form?
Why do you think so? Because it can freely move around. While the
Pure Metal form they are compact.
Very Good. That is correct.
How do you know if it is real gold? If nothing will happen if you put acid on it.
HCl
If you notice, there is a Hydrogen there and it is
bonded to a nonmetal, therefore it is in an ionic
form and not pure form.
How about gold in your jewelry? Is it also Ionic? No, teacher, it is in its pure form.
What can you observe as to the positions of Gold Hydrogen is more Active than Gold.
and Hydrogen in the Activity Series.
Therefore, what is our conclusion? Since Hydrogen is more active than Gold,
Hydrogen will stay active, while Gold being less
active, will stay in an inactive form.
That is correct.
The rule is:
If the Ionic Form is more active than the pureform
on the series, NO REACTION will happen.
1. CaCl2 and Na
So what will happen to the reaction? Na becomes active in its ionic form while Ca turns
into its pureform.
Very Good. Let’s have one more example.
D. Generalization
Can anyone tell me how to know which metal is The metal on top is more active than the metal
more active than the other? below it.
Can anyone please summarize how you can use If the Ionic Form is found Above the Pureform
the series to predict if an ionic metal will react Metal in the Series, no reaction will Happen, if it
with a pureform metal? is found below the Pureform, the pureform will
turn into ionic form and that original ionic form
will turn into its pureform.
Can you point out any instance in our daily life Just like in the example, it can be used to know if
where there is value in knowing the activity metals in jewelry are fake or not.
series?
Very good? It can tell us how to avoid scary reactions for our
own safety.
IV – Evaluation
Instruction: Answer the following questions using one or two sentences and write them on the blanks
provided after each item.
1. Battery Acid is H2SO4 or Hydrogen Sulfate. Will there be a reaction if I mix it with pure metal Iron?
If yes, why, if no, why not?

V – Assignment
Research on whether or not there is an Activity Series for Non-metals.
