No it wouldn't be. Metals high up in the reactivity series, such as the alkali metals, react with water. Copper metal wouldn't stay a metal for long if it reacted vigorously with water (which is the same reason that lithium, potassium, and sodium and not commonly found in their metallic state). Most metals that react with water are found as dissolved ions, and not as solid metals.

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 is the role of RSC?

The role of RSC, or the Reactivity Series Chart, is to show the relative reactivity of metals. It helps predict whether a metal will displace another metal from its compound based on their positions in the reactivity series. RSC is a useful tool in understanding redox reactions and the behavior of metals in chemical reactions.


When was the reactivity series discovered?

A company called Alexander Proudfoot Mining developed the Reactivity Series as a way of summarising all the different properties of the reactive metals as they were involved in extracting metals from ore


Which series is the most reactive series?

The most reactive series is the reactivity series of metals, which ranks metals from most reactive to least reactive based on their tendency to undergo chemical reactions. The series is a useful tool in predicting how metals will react with other substances.


How can the activity series of element help you in dealing with a single replacement reaction?

in a single dispacement reaction, the lower metals are replaced by the upper metals in the metal activity series. for ex: copper sulphate + iron ----- iron sulphate + copper (copper is replaced by iron in this chemical reaction)

What is about the reactivity of gold that makes it so valuable?

Having a low chemical reactivity gold is useful to made very resistant objects and platings.

Why are copper alloys more useful than copper?

Copper alloys are more useful than pure copper because they often have enhanced properties such as increased strength, improved corrosion resistance, and better electrical conductivity. By combining copper with other metals, these alloys can be tailored to meet specific application requirements, making them more versatile and valuable in various industries.


Why are copper alloys more useful than pure copper?

Copper alloys are more useful than pure copper because they have enhanced properties such as increased strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. By combining copper with other metals, alloys can be tailored to suit specific applications, making them more versatile and suitable for a wider range of uses than pure copper.
