Sodium is kept under oil, and gold never tarnishes. The difference is in how the metals react. In this course we see what metals do with oxygen, water, acids and salt solutions, we arrange them in the reactivity series, and we look at the reactions of non-metals.
A reactivity series is a list. An ore calculation is a few lines of arithmetic. In this course you turn the chemistry of metals into short Python programs, and you use them to test ideas: which metals displace which, which ore is the richest, and how much alloy you need. Then you take a timed test in the style of an olympiad.
