Solution

In chemistry, the reactivity series is a series of metals, in order of reactivity from highest to lowest. It is used to determine the products of single displacement reactions, whereby metal A will replace another metal B in a solution if A is higher in the series

Carbon and hydrogen are often included in the reactivity series even though they are non-metals. Carbon is included because this helps to explain what happens in the extraction of iron in a blast furnace. Hydrogen is included because any metal below it will not react with dilute acids
order of reactivity fro m most reactive to least reactive is as follows.
pottassium
sodium
calcium
magnesium
aluminium
carbon
zinc
iron
Tin
lead
hydrogen
copper
silver
Gold
platinum


that is aluminium is more reactive than carbon. If reactivity series is written from most reactive to least reactive aluminium comes first before carbon.
