However, before I receive the results of the experiment, I am going to make a prediction. After I have made my prediction and received my results I will draw a graph from the results, write up a conclusion and then evaluate the results. Prediction: I predict that the four metals of this experiment will come in this order: 1. Calcium 2. Magnesium 3. Zinc 4. Iron I made this prediction on the knowledge that I have that the reactivity of any element depends on the size of the atom (this is the number of shells) and the number of electrons on the outer shell. This therefore means that the more shells an atom has, the more reactive it is. An example of this: Group II metals Calcium Magnesium Beryllium 2,8,8,2 2,8,2 2,2 Using the previous example (previous...
