    Did my JC this year...still post in this thread. How'd you get on in the LC?

    List the metals in order of reactivity...

    Ended up with 520 :) doing political science and economics in Trinity now.

    There's more than that I believe. We learnt 12. Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Aluminium, Zinc, I think Iodine, Lithium, Hydrogen, Copper, Sulfur, Gold

    There are only 4 in our textbook and on the jc syllabus from what I can gather.
    Relative Reactivities of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu)
    The order of increasing reactivity is Cu, Zn, Mg and Ca.
    The order of decreasing reactivity is Ca, Mg, Zn and Cu.
    Calcium is the most active of the four; copper the least active.

    EDIT: Just checked the syllabus and only the reactivity of Ca, Mg, Zn and Cu have to be known.

    So, shall I start a new one?

    Write the following in the aimsir chaite

    Cuirfidh U2 trí cheolchoirm ar stáitse i bPáirc an Chrócaigh i mí Iúil. Nuair a chuala an lucht
    leanúna an scéal, is cinnte go léimfidh siad le háthas. Dúirt Paul Mc Guinness bainisteoir U2

    My Question Is Who discovered the atom?

    Very Detailed is needed


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,419 ✭✭✭WanderingSoul


    And your question?

    EDIT: Opps. However, I don't think that is actually on the science syllabus unless that question is for another subject. I'll go check the science syllabus to verify.

    EDIT 2: According to the science syllabus (page 22) you do not have to know that.
