any metals that are below copper in the reactivity series
Metals which are above Carbon in the reactivity series, eg. Magnesium. These metals need to be extracted by electrolysis.
All active metals below Hydrogen in the galvanic series.
It predicts of one metal will replace another metal in a compound.
Lead and silver nitrate will react to produce silver and lead nitrate. Pb(s) + AgNO3(aq) --> Ag(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) We can know this by referring to an activity (also called reactivity) series for metals, which lists metals in a vertical list such that any metal will replace any metal below it on the list. Lead is above silver, therefore, the lead will replace the silver in the silver nitrate compound. For an activity series from Wikipedia, refer to the related link below.
Metals higher in the series will replace metal ions in solution that are lower in the series
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.
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.
It compares how reactive the metals are It predicts if one metal will replace another metal in a compound

Metals higher in the reactivity series displace metals that are lower down. This concept has wider application than simply metals.
An activity series of metals can predict whether a replacement (displacement) reaction will occur. You use the activity series to compare the reactivity of different metals in order to predict whether a replacement reaction will occur. A metal that is above another metal in the series will replace that metal in a compound.
Hydrogen is included in the activity series of metals because it exhibits both metal-like and non-metal-like properties. It can react with certain metals to form metal hydrides, while also being able to behave as a non-metal and participate in redox reactions. Including hydrogen in the activity series helps to provide a comprehensive understanding of its reactivity and its ability to displace other metals from their compounds.

A metal replaces a metallic ion below it on the list.
We arrange metals into an ordered list with the best reducing agent at the top and the worst reducing agent at the bottom. This is an Activity Series for metals. Metals near the top of the list give up electrons most easily. Those metals near the bottom of the list give up electrons with difficulty. Hydrogen, even though it is not a metal, can be placed in the list. Metals above hydrogen in the Activity Series will react with 1.0 Molar hydrochloric acid at room temperature. The Activity Series for metals is developed by experiment.A list of metals arranged in order of reactivity~APEX
It gives salt and H2.But metals below Cu in activity series do not give those.
