Readily photocopiable worksheet on displacement reactions and the reactivity series.

I have improved my video of this reaction mechanism.

A very little crossword puzzle about making salts

This is a simple powerpoint presentation outlining how to write word equations for neutralisation reactions. It has plenty of examples and problems. It is allied to my worksheet of the same name, with the same problems for students to try. The answers are at the end of the presentation, for students to mark their own work.

This is a simple worksheet about writing word equations for neutralisation reactions. It covers 2 pages. There are plenty of examples, which get harder as you go on. There is an accompanying powerpoint, as an additional download… NB I am well aware that exam boards, RSC and text books regard acid plus metal to be a redox reaction, which of course it is. However, in such a reaction, the pH increases to neutral and the acid has gone, so I think it can properly be regarded as neutralization of an acid. And since this worksheet is really about naming salts, I had to include it. I removed the spurious reaction of copper metal with dilute acids (woops, senile moment)

A simple worksheet which reinforces organic functional groups. Could be printed or presented on screen as a starter.

Simply drag the configurations to the correct box, if it is correct it will stick and you will receive praise, if not it will invite you to try again. Open in a flash-enabled browser or windows media player, and maximise the window. I am working on a version for html5. Useful for reinforcing the basis of the periodic table.
