The phrase "active metals" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in chemistry to refer to metals that readily lose electrons and participate in chemical reactions, particularly with water and acids.
Example: "Sodium and potassium are examples of active metals that react vigorously with water."
Alternatives: "reactive metals" or "alkali metals".
It was determined that the active metals not only affect the catalytic activity, but also change the reaction pathway of HDO of DBF.
In addition, the mixing molar ratios of different active metals are also important to the HDS activity.
An increase of 1.3 2.5 times increase in HDS activity at 320 360 °C was observed due to reduced interaction between Al2O3 and the active metals.
Gaseous hydrogen chloride reacts with active metals and their oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates to produce chlorides.
The nucleophilic character of organometallic compounds of active metals has many synthetic applications.
The highly active metals combine with a halogen-substituted hydrocarbon to produce simple organometallic compounds.
Additionally to complex formations, these compounds can exhibit reductive activity towards redox-active metals changing the redox state of metals and therefore their speciation.
Flavanoids have been reported to possess antioxidative activities, such as to inhibit lipid peroxidation, chelate redox-active metals and inhibit free-radical mediated events and even increasing resistance to DNA strand breakage [ 28, 29].
Superoxide dismutase mimics can help regulate the levels of O2− in the body, but typically rely on redox-active metals that are toxic in their free form.
Age-related cataract is a worldwide health care problem whose progression has been linked to oxidative stress and the accumulation of redox-active metals.
As within the lens, there is an age-dependent decrease in antioxidant defenses and an increase in the accumulation of redox-active metals such as iron and copper [9].
