• Describe the general properties of metals
• Describe metallic bonding in terms of the lattice and electrons and use this to explain malleability and conductivity
• Describe alloys as a mixture of a metal with another element
• Explain why alloys are used instead of pure metals
• The reactivity series
• The use of carbon for the extraction of metals from their ores
• The series of reactions in the extraction of iron
• Extraction of aluminium
