Reactivity of metals GapFill

When a metal reacts with oxygen,  an alkali metala pure metala salta metal acida metal oxidea metal carbonate is formed. During this reaction, the metal is  displacedoxalatedoxidisedalloyedacidifiedoxidated because it has gained oxygen.

Some metals, such as  goldironcalciummagnesiumlithiumsodium, are considered unreactive, and are found pure in nature. Other metals have to be  acidifieddugneutralisedevaporatedextractedpolymerised from their ores.
