Question

What is the activity (or reactivity) series of metals?

Answer 1

• The reactivity series or the activity series of metals is a type of ordering system for elements, which tells the reactivity of a certain element in relation to other elements.
• The reactivity series tells the level of reactivity based on how elements can displace Hydrogen gas from acidic solutions and water.
• In the reactivity series, at the top, the most reactive metal is placed whereas, the least reactive metal is placed at the bottom.
