Why hydrogen placed in activity chart of metals when it is not a metal?

Hydrogen may not be a metal, but it does share some properties with metals. It forms a positive cation, H+, and can displace some metals in displacement reactions. Basically, it is included in the reactivity series because it is able to displace some metals but not others.

In single replacemant reactions metals lower on the activity chart replace higher metals on a higher chart true of false?
False
How does the activity series of metals reflect the stability of metals?
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
What chart should you use to predict whether or not a single replacement reaction takes place?
answers: activity series of metals hydrogen reactants are 2 ionic compounds pbo2->pb+02
In order to predict whether or not a single replacement reaction takes place you need to consult a chart that shows what?
activity series of metals
What happends when magnesium reacts with acid?
Magnesium, like all metals above copper on a standard reactivity series chart, will liberate hydrogen gas.
What is activity series?
The Activity Series of metals is a very essential part in predicting the result of many reactions. The Activity series is a chart which list's metals in order of declining reactivity. The metals on the top of the series are the most reactive and the ones in the bottom are the least reactive. The first five elements on the chart are highly reactive metals; which will react with water and steam. It is essential to know, that reactions should be performed in room temperature for the activity series to work well. Many would predict that metals with low ionization energy and lower electro negativity would me more active, because they are more vulnerable to lose electrons in a reaction. However, while these properties do affect an elements place in the series, there are other factors that affect an elements activity
