Question

Consider the following data for five hypothetical elements: Q, W, X, Y, and Z. Rank the elements from most reactive to least reactive.
Combination Observation of reaction
Q+W+ Reaction occurs
X+Z+ No reaction
W+Z+ Reaction occurs
Q++Y Reaction occurs
Place the element symbols from most to least reactive. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Answer 1

Answer:

Y Q W Z X

Explanations:

The most reactive element is the element that will displace an element from it compound . The most reactive element will replace the less reactive element in it compound.

Q+ + Y Reaction occurs

Since the reaction occurs the element Y which is more reactive displaced element Q from it compound.

Q+W+ Reaction occurs

The reaction occurs, that means element Q replaces element w from it compound. Element Q is therefore more reactive than element W.

W+Z+ Reaction occurs

The reaction also occurs . This is an indication that element W replaces element Z in it compound. This means element W is very reactive than element Z.

X+Z+ No reaction

There is no reaction here. This is an indication that element X is less reactive than element Z. This is why element X can't displace element Y in it compound.
