Question

Shown below is the reactivity series of metals. Which of the following option is correct regarding it?

• A. Sodium is more reactive than magnesium.
• B. Magnesium and aluminium metals displace calcium.
• C. Silver and copper metals displace lead.
• D. Iron and tin metals can displace magnesium.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sodium is more reactive than magnesium.

The reactivity decreases down the line i.e. metal at the top is more reactive than the metal at the bottom. In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Hence, the correct statement from the given options is: sodium is more reactive than magnesium.
