Question

Metals which are less reactive than Hydrogen $\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ displace Hydrogen $\left(\mathrm{H}\right)$ from acids.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The series of metals arranged according to their reactivity is known as the activity series of metals
• All metals that lie above Hydrogen in the activity series are more reactive than Hydrogen.
• The metals which are more reactive (more electropositive) than Hydrogen can displace Hydrogen from dilute acids and the metals which are less reactive (less electropositive) than Hydrogen cannot displace Hydrogen from dilute acids.
• Hence, the given statement “Metals which are less reactive than Hydrogen displace Hydrogen from acids” is false.
