Make sure you can also give 'rules' for the effect of heat on metal carbonates and give word equations where reactions occur.

 Write the rules for the effect of heat on metal hydroxides and provide word equations for thermal decomposition. 

Make sure you can also give 'rules' for the effect of heat on metal nitrates and give word equations where reactions occur.

Make sure you can explain what simple cells are, and say why a current is produced.

Make sure you can also explain what simple cells are, and predict which metal will be the positive pole.

Make sure you can also explain what simple cells are, and decide which pair of metals in the reactivity series will give the largest voltage, and why?

• Copper and lead
• lead and iron
• copper and magnesium
• zinc and copper
• magnesium and zinc

Make sure you can also explain what is this for, and why it works, and name the metal used:

Sacrificial protection
