At the end of this activity, students should be able to: û use the reactivity series to predict the direction of displacement of metals by other metals from solutions of their salts û know that metal ores occur in the Earth’s crust û know how metals are extracted from their ores û know that the method for the extraction of a particular metal from its ore depends on the reactivity of this metal û explain what the process of corrosion involves û name the factors that influence the rate of corrosion of iron û explain how to prevent corrosion.
