Best Answer

Of the metals listed, lithium is the most reactive. Lithium is an alkali metal with only one valance electron. This electron is easily lost in order to give lithium a stable noble gas configuration. Because of this tendency to lose an electron, lithium is quite reactive.

What is more reactive CO2 or CO?

CO is more reactive than CO2. This is because CO has a single bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which makes the oxygen more readily available for reactions. CO2, on the other hand, has double bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making it less reactive.


Why do metals displace other metals from their atoms?

A single-displacement reaction, also called single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. (One element is replaced by another in a compound.) This is usually written as...A + BC→ AC + BThis will occur if A is more reactive than B.In the activity or reactivity series, the metals with the highest propensity to donate their electrons to react are listed first, and the most unreactive metals are listed last. Therefore a metal higher on the list is able to displace anything on the list below it. The order of activity for metals is Li>K>Ba>Ca>Na>Mg>Al>Mn>Zn>Cr>Fe>Co>Ni>Sn>Pb>H2>Cu>Ag>Hg>Pt>Au. Similarly, the halogens with the highest propensity to acquire electrons are the most reactive. The activity series for halogens is F>Cl>Br>I

What do the elements al and pb have in common?

There are no such elements. In chemistry, you MUST use upper and lower case properly otherwise you cannot tell carbon monoxide (CO) from cobalt (Co).Al and Pb are metals.

CO is Covalent ionic or metallic?

Co, carbon monoxide, is covalent. Two non-metals, difference in electronegativity mkes the bond polar.


What chemical change occurs when more reactive substance replaces a less reactive substance in a compound?

reduction or oxidation example: (this isn't a real reaction) ClO + CS4 --> CO + ClS4 the chorine has been reduced, because the carbon is more reactive the carbon has been oxidised, because it is more reactive oxidation = the addition of oxygen reduction = the subtraction of oxygen
