The lower the position of the metal in Group 1, the higher the reactivity of the
metal.
[Able to state the relationship correctly but less accurate] 2
Suggested answer:
The reactivity of the metals is inversely proportional to their position in the
group.
[Able to state an idea of a relationship] 1
Suggested answer:
Position of metals affect the reactivity
No response given / wrong response 0

[Able to predict the reactivity of rubidium correctly] 3
Suggested answer:
The reaction of Rubidium is most reactive among lithium, sodium and
potassium when react with water
[Able to predict the arrangement of the metals based on their reactivity] 2
Suggested answer:
The reaction of Rubidium is most reactive.
[Able to give an idea 1

EXPLANATION SCORE
[Able to make a correct statement of problem] 3
Suggested answer:
Does the distance between two/ pair of metals in the electrochemical series
give different voltage values?
[Able to make a statement of the problem or suitable aim] 2
Suggested answer:
Does the distance between two /pair of metals give different voltage values?//
Distance between two/pair of metals in the electrochemical series gives
different voltage values.
[Able to state an idea of statement of problem or aim] 1
Metals influence the voltage values
No response given / wrong response 0
EXPLANATION SCORE
[Able to state all the three variables correctly] 3
Suggested answer:
Manipulated variable : types of pairs of metals
Responding variable: voltage values//potential difference
Constant variable : electrolyte used such as copper(II) sulphate solution.
[Able to state any two of the variables correctly] 2
[Able to state one of the variables correctly or state idea regarding 1
variable]
No response given / wrong response 0
EXPLANATION SCORE
[Able to state the relationship between manipulated variable and 3
responding variable correctly]
Suggested answer:
The further the distance/position between two metals in the electrochemical
series, the bigger the voltage value.
[If the responding variable comes first, the score is 2]
[Able to state the relationship between manipulated variable and 2
responding variable]
Suggested answer:
The further the distance /position between two metals, the bigger the
voltage value//vice versa
[Able to state an idea of the hypothesis] 1
Suggested answer:
Metals influence the voltage value
No response given / wrong response 0
