What is the importance of metal activity series on displacement reactions?
Metals higher in the reactivity series displace metals that are lower down. This concept has wider application than simply metals.
How can you use the reactivity series?
The Reactivity Series is a way of organising metals in a series from the most reactive to the least reactive. In introductory chemistry, the reactivity series is an empirical series of metals, in order of "reactivity" from highest to lowest. It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water, displacement reactions and the extraction of metals from their ores.Going from bottom to top, the metals:increase in reactivity;lose electrons more readily to form positive ions;corrode or tarnish more readily;require more energy (and different methods) to be separated from their ores;become stronger reducing agents.The most reactivePotassiumSodiumLithiumCalciumMagnesiumAluminumCarbon all below carbon up to hydrogen are extracted from their ores by heating with carbon.ZincIronLeadHydrogen all below hydrogen can be extraced from their ores using hydrogen.CopperSilver - these metals are unreactive and exist naturally. They are obtained by physical processes . e.g panning.Gold - same as silver.The least reactive
What is the advantage of low reactivity metal?
Low reactivity metals can easily found in earth.
Which metal in the reactivity series is native?
arshole
What can the reactivity series be used to predict?
It can predict many things e.g. displacement reactions such as copper sulfate + Calcium → Calcium sulfate + Copper as the copper would've been displaced because calcium is more reactive, it also can predict how long it takes for a metal to corrode rust e.g. Gold is used for jewellery because it's shiny and beautiful and it has a very low reactivity. This means that many unreactive metals cost a lot. It can also predict many other things.

How are replacement reactions similar to one another?
I think you mean displacement reactions. There are 2 types of displacement reactions: single, and double displacement. Single displacement is when a metal -nonmetal reacts with a metal or a nonmetal atom, and the metal or nonmetal atom switches places with the one in the molecule. Double displacement is when two molecules (same as above) react, and the metals/nonmetals (it doesn't really matter in this case) are swapped. They both have a switching of places between atoms, so I guess this is how they are similar.
Why hydrogen placed in activity chart of metals when it is not a metal?
Hydrogen may not be a metal, but it does share some properties with metals. It forms a positive cation, H+, and can displace some metals in displacement reactions. Basically, it is included in the reactivity series because it is able to displace some metals but not others.

What is the advantage of low reactivity metal?
Low reactivity metals can easily found in earth.
What information is useful for predicting whether metal will replace another metal in compound?
The activity (or reactivity) series determines whether or not a metal will replace another one in a replacement reaction.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about the activity series.
What is a metal with low reactivity?
Platinum or Gold.
Which metal in the reactivity series is native?
arshole
