It is a scale of how reactive metals are
here it is
potassium most reactive
sodium
calcium
magnesium
aluminium
zinc
iron
tin
lead
silver
gold
platinum least reactive
Some metals (alkali metals) are very reactive and other (noble metals) have a very low reactivity.
Low reactivity metals can easily found in earth.

By knowing the reactivity series of elements, we can tell which elements will displace each other. So to extract a metal from an ore, you need to use an element higher up in the reactivity series, so that the metal will be replaced by the other element, and you are left with a more pure form of the metal.
Sodium metal is usually kept under paraffin because of its high reactivity.
the reactivity increases as you go down the group
The cheap metal r ing from a vendor is more than gold in reactivity
Decrease reactivity
Low reactivity metals can easily found in earth.
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.
Platinum or Gold.

Metal oxides of high reactivity are soluble in water while those of moderate reactivity are insoluble in water.
yes it does. if the electrons are lost easily, reactivity is more.

Potassium, it is high in the reactivity series
