If copper would have been high up in reactivity series would it still have been a useful metal give reason?

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.

∙ 15y agono it wouldn't, because you wouldn't be able to make pans out of it if it reacted with them. if it reacted with the pan, it would dissolve/ change colour/ emit unwanted gasses or smells and then you couldn't cook things in it.

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.
Is all metals are reactive?
Are all metals reactive?Over the years, enterprising scientists have thought of many ways to categorise and arrange the known metallic elements - the Periodic Table of the Elements being the best known - but perhaps the most accessible and useful is the Reactivity Series. The following series includes the best-known metals:Potassium Most reactiveSodium ↑ Calcium ↑Magnesium ↑Aluminium ↑Zinc ↑Iron ↑Tin ↑Lead ↑Copper ↑Silver ↑Gold Least reactiveA number of mnemonics exist to help people remember the Reactivity Series; one big problem, however, is that different versions of the series exist, containing different numbers of metals. 'Please Stop Calling My Zebra In Class' is commonly used to remember a seven-metal Reactivity Series of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper.
Is steel a useful alloy of copper and tin?
steel is an alloy of iron and about 0.1%-0.3% carbon. bronze is an alloy of copper+ tin....( not steel)
Why is copper good for pan base?
It is good because it conducts heat. Its useful for making jam.

How is reactivity series useful?
Well i need to know m8, so if you could tell me please do. Thanks a bunch
Why are copper alloys more useful than copper?
they are more useful because they have more copper inside .
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 pure copper?
Pure copper is actually quite useful for certain purposes, such as wiring, but alloys such as brass and bronze are stronger than copper.

What are the benefits of mining copper?
Copper mining produces copper, a very useful element. I also provides jobs and a lot of tax money for the government.
