Answer is (4) - Pb.
According to the reactivity series of elements
- the elements which are above the hydrogen are more reactive than hydrogen.
- the elements which are below the hydrogen are less reactive than hydrogen.
Among the given choices, only Pb is placed above the hydrogen in the reactivity series and rest are below the hydrogen.
Hence, Pb is more active than hydrogen.
In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.
