Why isn't hydrogen reactive?
Hydrogen IS reactive
Why some metals react with acids in terms of displacement of hydrogen?
The metals which are more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its solution. It is also an example of displacement reaction.
What cause the effervescence during the reaction of HCl and Zinc?
Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 As you can see it is the hydrogen gas released in this reaction, which causes the effervescence. Just to note, in any reaction between a reactive metal and an acid, hydrogen gas is always produced.
What is the most chemically reactive ion?
The most chemically reactive ion is the hydrogen ion.
What are very reactive non metals?
Hydrogen
Can aluminum and hydrogen chloride make hydrogen?
Yes, aluminum is a reactive metal than hydrogen. So it undergoes a displacement reaction and emits hydrogen along with aluminum chloride as the other product.
What is the noun for reactive?
The noun form of the adjective reactive is reactiveness.The related nouns are reactant (The material that reacts), reactor (The apparatus which contains the reaction), and reaction (The process the reactant undergoes).
Why is atomic hydrogen reactive than nascent hydrogen?
nascent hydrogen is much more reactive than ordinary hydrogen because it is produced in situ,itmeans that as it is produced it is consumed in another reaction. It is unstable that is why much more reactive than atomic hydrogen.

Why is there no reaction with gold and sulfuric acid?
This is because gold is not reactive enough. Metals below hydrogen in the reactive series will not react with sulphuric acid.
Why some metals react with acids in terms of displacement of hydrogen?
The metals which are more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its solution. It is also an example of displacement reaction.
Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?
If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction
Why do you think no reaction occurs between acidified hydrogen peroxide and halide ions other than iodide?
No reaction occurs between the acidified hydrogen peroxide and the other halide ions, because the hydrogen ions involved in both cases are in the same group. For a reaction to occur it needed to have an element that is more reactive than hydrogen.

Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2 As you can see it is the hydrogen gas released in this reaction, which causes the effervescence. Just to note, in any reaction between a reactive metal and an acid, hydrogen gas is always produced.
What happens when you add hydrochloric acid to copper?
Absolutely no reaction happens, that's because copper is less reactive than hydrogen. ;)
Why does Hydrogen Peroxide cause a reaction?
Well the structure H-O-O-H makes it reactive and not nearly as stable as water.
