IGCSE Chemistry- Metals

This resource contain a power point presentation with more than 60 slides , worksheet containing 55 short answer type questions (12 pages) and answers (8 pages).

The concepts covered are

1. Physical properties of metals: Thermal and electrical conductivity, melting and boiling point, density, malleability and ductility, lustrous and sonorous.

2. Alloys: types and properties

3. Chemical properties of metals : Factors affecting the reactivity of metals ( metallic bond strength and electronegativity) , chemical reactions of metals (with water, steam, dilute acids, and oxygen, iron and aluminum oxides), Reactivity series and its significance, thermal stability of metal compounds ( hydroxides, carbonates and nitrates)

4. Extraction of metals: Extraction of iron and steel making, extraction of aluminum, extraction of zinc by electrolysis and reduction with coke, recycling of metals

5. Uses of metals and alloys: Aluminum, copper, zinc and steel

This resource is carefully prepared by referring many past IGCSE question papers.

Diagrams and images are added wherever possible for better understanding .

Worksheet cover all the concepts of the metal chapter . Questions are not a direct copy from past question papers but made by referring it.

The slides can be used as a reference material, resource for self learning , class room teaching and for revision.
