In Chemistry, a reactivity series of metals , also known as the activity series refers to the arrangement of metals in the descending order based upon their reactivity .
<u>Salient Features</u> :-
- The metal at the top of the reactivity series are powerful reducing agents since they are easily oxidized.
- The reducing ability of metals grows weaker while traversing down the series.
- The electro-positivity of metals also reduces while moving down the reactivity series.
- Metals that are placed higher on the reactivity series have the ability to displace metals that are placed lower in the series.
<u>The metal reactivity series is given below</u> :-
To access the reactivity of metal , from the given reactivity series identify any of the metal and locate the reactivity based upon the choice of reactivity. The metal at the top (Potassium) is most reactive and the metal at the bottom (Platinum) is the least reactive.
