Expert Answer
The reactivity series is a series of metals, in order of reactivity from highest to lowest. It is used to determine the products of single displacement reactions, whereby metal A will replace another metal B in a solution if A is higher in the series.
Here is a series of some of the most common metals, listed in descending order of reactivity:
Metals | Metal Ion | Reactivity |
---|---|---|
K | K+ | reacts with water |
Na | Na+ | |
Ba | Ba2+ | |
Sr | Sr+ | |
Ca | Ca2+ | |
Li | Li+ | |
Mg | Mg2+ | reacts with acids |
Al | Al3+ | |
Mn | Mn2+ | |
Zn | Zn2+ | |
Cr | Cr2+ | |
Fe | Fe2+ | |
Cd | Cd2+ | |
Co | Co2+ | |
Ni | Ni2+ | |
Sn | Sn2+ | |
Pb | Pb2+ | |
H2 | H+ | included for comparison |
Sb | Sb3+ | highly unreactive |
Bi | Bi3+ | |
Cu | Cu2+ | |
Hg | Hg2+ | |
Ag | Ag+ | |
Pt | Pt+ | |
Au | Au3+ |
