Answer : The correct option is, (2) Cr (Chromium)
Explanation :
The reactivity series of metal are arranged of the reactivity from the highest to the lowest. Reactivity series is used to determine the products of the single displacement reactions. In the single displacement reaction, the most reactive metal displaces the least reactive metal.
From the given reactivity series we conclude that there are two metal (Mg and Cr) are more reactive metal than the Ni and there are two metal (Pb and Cr) are less reactive metal than the Zn. So, the Cr (Chromium) is the metal which is more active than Ni and less active than Zn.
Hence, the correct option is, (2) Cr
<span>The number next to the simbol of the element ions (as a superscript) means the number of charges of the ion. For example N (+),, where (+) is a superscript means that the charge of the ion is 1+. S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) . </span>
Chromium has the electron configuration [Ar]4s13d5 and exhibits oxidation numbers 2+, 3+, and 6+. When chromium loses two electrons, it forms the Cr2+ ion and has the configuration [Ar]3d4.
The Answer is B. [Ar]3d4
