Metals and Their Uses in Year 8 Science

This document discusses metals and their properties. It covers key vocabulary like catalyst, physical properties, corrosion, and rusting. It also discusses the reactivity series of metals, how metals react with water and acids, and how alloys are mixtures of metals that improve properties. Pure metals react differently than alloys when exposed to substances like water and acids.
