📖 Your Story

You are a junior scientist at ISRO's Satellite Centre in Bengaluru. The Chandrayaan mission needs your expertise to select metals for spacecraft components. Your mission is to understand how metals react with oxygen and classify them based on reactivity. Chief Scientist Dr. Kalam guides you through various experiments.

What You'll Learn

  • Understand how different metals react with oxygen when burnt in air.
  • Distinguish between basic oxides and amphoteric oxides with examples.
  • Learn why sodium and potassium are stored in kerosene oil.
  • Arrange metals in order of reactivity based on observations.

How to Play

1Select a metal sample from the collection and observe its reaction when heated in air.
2Record the flame colour, product formed, and the nature of the oxide (basic or amphoteric).
3Test the solubility of metal oxides in water and classify them correctly.
4Arrange metals in order of decreasing reactivity with oxygen to complete your mission.
