Solution

Reactivity series of metals can be defined as a series of metals in order of reactivity from highest to lowest. Despite being a non-metal, hydrogen is often included in the reactivity series since it helps compare the reactivities of the metals. The metals placed above hydrogen in the series can displace it from acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid.
