Compounds containing M-C bonds are well established for Be and Mg but, as with the alkali metals, reactivity within the group increases with increasing electropositivity, and relatively few OrganometalHc compounds of Ca, Sr or Ba have been isolated. 

The range of chemical reactivity of metals is wide, from the inertness of the platinum group to the extreme reactivity of some alkali metals. The order of metal reactivity follows essentially the order of the electrochemical series which is shown in Table 17.4 for the metals commonly deposited by CVD. 

Seven chemical reactions were identified from the chemistry syllabus. These chemical reactions were selected because they were frequently encountered during the 2-year chemistiy course and based on their importance in understanding concepts associated with three topics, namely, acids, bases and salts, metal reactivity series and inorganic chemistry qualitative analysis. The seven types of chemical reactions were combustion of reactive metals in air, chemical reactions between dilute acids and reactive metals, neutralisation reactions between strong acids and strong alkalis, neutralisation reactions between dilute acids and metal oxides, chemical reactions between dilute acids and metal carbonates, ionic precipitation reactions and metal ion displacement reactions. Although two of the chemical reactions involved oxidation and reduction, it was decided not to include the concept of redox in this study as students had only recently been introduced to ion-electron... 

Using the metal reactivity series, students are to predict if a chemical reaction would occur when a coil of copper wire is placed in some aqueous silver nitrate in a test-tube. Students are to predict the macroscopic changes that they would expect, given the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction.

In particular, reactions involving transition-metals have attracted a lot of interest recently because of the connection to catalytic and enzymatic processes. Unfortunately, the proper computational description of such reactions is one of the great challenges of today s theoretical chemistry and the question for the general applicability of density functional methods in the field is an area of active research. We chose to provide a single but - as we think - representative example to illustrate the difficulties one has to face in theoretical studies of transition-metal reactivity.

Although mercurials are highly specific for sulphydryl groups [67-69], they are highly unspecific in terms of proteins, almost all proteins having sulphydryl groups that are metal-reactive. Thus, mercurials can disturb almost all functions in which proteins are involved [70],... 

As a conclusive remark about this topic we underline that the trend of the inter-metallic reactivity described for the 3rd group metals and the phase stability scheme shown may be considered an example of a systematic alloying behaviour generally presented by several metals of the first groups of the Periodic Table. The reader may indeed compare the patterns here reported in Fig. 5.14 with those previously presented for the 2nd group metals and with those shown in the next paragraphs for the metals of the 4th group.

Among protein aromatic groups, histidyl residues are the most metal reactive, followed by tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.1 Copper is the most reactive metal, followed in order by nickel, cobalt, and zinc. These interactions are typically strongest in the pH range of 7.5 to 8.5, coincident with the titration of histidine. Because histidine is essentially uncharged at alkaline pH, complex-ation makes affected proteins more electropositive. Because of the alkaline optima for these interactions, their effects are most often observed on anion exchangers, where complexed forms tend to be retained more weakly than native protein. The effect may be substantial or it may be small, but even small differences may erode resolution enough to limit the usefulness of an assay. 

The erosion effects of cavitation on solid surfaces have been extensively investigated both in terms of surface erosion [68] and corrosion [69]. The consequences of these effects on metal reactivity are important since passivating coatings are frequently present on a metal surface (e. g. oxides, carbonates and hydroxides) and can be removed by the impacts caused by collapsing cavitation bubbles. An illustration can be found with the activation of nickel powder and the determination of the change in its surface composition under the influence of cavitation by Auger spectroscopy (Fig. 3.6) [70]. 

One of the surprising aspects of this and other studies using naked metal ions as models for electron-transfer catalysis are the many analogies found to known transition metal chemistry, either in the gas phase with naked ions or for complexes under more normal conditions. Clearly, such simple models as the beryllium cation cannot account for transition metal reactivity, but they do have the advantage that, because of their very simplicity, the reasons for their effects are relatively clear. The fact that Be can catalyze a given reaction does not necessarily mean that, for instance, a transition metal does not use d-orbitals to catalyze the same reaction but it does mean that d-orbitals are not a prerequi-...
