If you reverse the Live and Neutral, it won't make any difference, as the current flows between these two wires.

However if you connect either the Live or Neutral to Earth, then you'll get a loud bang as the fuse blows and a bright blue flash. If you're lucky. Otherwise you could electrocute yourself, or someone else.

If you don't know which wires go where, leave the work for a Professional.

Can you hook up a 240V circuit in series to a dryer and electric range?

The short answer is no. First off I assume you mean "can you have a dryer and an electric range on the same circuit?" (If they were actually wired in series, then you couldn't use your range if the dryer was off) In theory you could have them on the same circuit you just need to make sure that the wiring and the circuit they are on can handle the number of amps the two of them could draw together. If your breaker isn't big enough, it kill the power to the range while you are cooking dinner. If the wiring can't handle the load, then there is a fire risk. A dryer is usually on a 30amp circuit and a range is usually on a 50amp circuit, so to have them together would require an 80amp circuit, which will be difficult to find a breaker and wiring for.
