Chemistry Data Sheet - Reactivity Series of Metals, Common Ions and the Periodic Table of Elements

Sep 5, 2026

Chemistry data sheet summarizing core GCSE-ready reference information. It includes the reactivity series of metals from most to least reactive, alongside a list of common positive and negative ions with their charge and ionic formulae. The sheet also presents the periodic table layout, showing atomic (proton) number, atomic symbol, and element names, plus notes on omitted lanthanides and actinides and rounding conventions for specific relative atomic masses.

FAQs

What does the reactivity series of metals list?

It lists metals in order from most reactive to least reactive, with certain elements included for comparison.

Which information is provided for common ions?

The sheet gives the name of each ion and its ionic formula for both positive and negative ions, including typical charges.

What fields does the periodic table section include?

It provides each element’s atomic (proton) number, atomic symbol, name, and relative atomic mass, along with notes about omissions and rounding.
