    This document summarizes the reactivity of different metals with oxygen, water, and acids. It lists metals from most reactive to least reactive, including potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, nickel, tin, lead, copper, mercury, silver, gold, and platinum. It then explains common reactions of metals with oxygen (forming metal oxides), acids (forming salts and hydrogen gas), and water (forming metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas). It also describes displacement reactions where a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its compound.
