Question

Is copper more reactive than hydrogen?

Then which elements are more reavtive than hydrogen and also copper?

Answer 1

Actually, hydrogen is not a metal. According to the electrochemical series, all metal which are present above to hydrogen are more reactive than it. For example..Lithium, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Barium Magnesium, Aluminium, Manganese, Zinc, Nickel. The metals copper, silver gold, and platinum are less reactive than hydrogen and they do not replace hydrogen from water or acid. Examples of metal-displacement reactions: Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution and iron from ferrous sulphate solution.Because zinc is more reactive than iron and copper.

Reactivity series is as follows:

Potassium

Sodium

Calcium

Magnesium

Aluminium

Zinc

Carbon

Tin

Lead

Hydrogen

Copper

Silver

Gold
