Why is the reactivity series important when extracting metals from ores?
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.
Why are metals resistant to acids?
This depends on the chemical reactivity of the metal (position on the reativity series).
Where is carbon placed in the reactivity series and why?
Carbon comes below aluminum and above zinc in the reactivity series: Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium CARBON Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum
What factors determines the method used to extract a metal?
Its position on the reactivity series. The more reactive the metal, the harder it is to extract from its ore.
Which rule for the reaction of a metal with oxides of other metals?
Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
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 metal corode fastest?
Potassium, it is high in the reactivity series
Who invented metal reactivity series?
alexender proudfoot mining..
What is the most receive metal?
Lithium

What is the link between the Reactivity Series and how the metal reacts with oxygen?
Metals higher up the reactivity series (more reactive) will react more readily with oxygen to form the respective metal oxide
Which type of chart helps predict the outcome of single replacement reaction?
A metal reactivity chart.
What unreactive metal does not react with dilute acid?
any metal's that below Copper in the reactivity series.
Where in the reactivity series are the metals most affected by corrosion?
The rate of corrosion is directly linked to a metal's reactivity. The higher the metal in the series, the more reactive, also more susceptible to corrosion with oxygen and water. aluminum is not easy to corrode. Aluminum quickly reacts with oxygen in the air, and the oxide layer that forms protects the metal underneath from any further reaction.

What metal oxides can be converted to the metal by carbon reduction but not by hydrogen reduction?
any metals below carbon in the reactivity series. :)
