Metals — IGCSE Sciences - Co-Ordinated (0973) questions by topic
Metals questions ask which statement about sulfur is correct, rank four metals' reactivity with dilute hydrochloric acid, circle characteristic physical properties of iron, and explain a displacement reaction between copper strip and silver nitrate solution, worth from 1 to 12 marks.
Identify, explain and state lead the command words in this IGCSE Co-ordinated Sciences topic, with suggest and calculate also common: explain a displacement reaction by comparing reactivity, not just name the products. 17 real questions from 2023 to 2025 papers sit here. Submitting each answer for instant marking checks whether a named physical property, such as malleable or a good electrical conductor, matches what the mark scheme credits.
