When metals react with oxygen they turn into metal oxides and they gain in mass.
Sanjay wondered whether the gain in mass might be linked to the reactivity of the metal.
Clare wondered whether there was any relationship between the gain in mass and the position of
the element in the Periodic Table.
They collected the data in the table and tested their ideas. All the figures in the table refer to the
mass of metal oxide formed when 10 g of metal was heated and completely converted into the
metal oxide.
