how does the reactivity series of metals help in predicting the relative activities of various metals

Open in App

Solution

The reactivity series is where metals are arranged in the decreasing order of their reaction with other metals. If a metals is more reactive metal only then can it replace a metal which is less reactive. a metal cannot displace a lower reactive metal thus no reaction.
