How does the activity series of metals tell which reactions will occur?
Metals higher in the series will replace metal ions in solution that are lower in the series
Can electronegativity be factor to determine the activity series of a metal?
There is a possibility that electronegativity can determine the activity series. This activity could knock ions out of solution and ranking in a 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.
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 kind of information does the activity series of metal give us?
It compares how reactive the metals are It predicts if one metal will replace another metal in a compound
How does the activity series of metals tell which reactions will occur?
Metals higher in the series will replace metal ions in solution that are lower in the series
What must an element be in order to replace another element in a compound?
A metal can displace another metal which is lower in the reactivity series.
What is galvanic series?
Each metal when placed into an electrolyte, water, seawater, soil or any other good electrolyte, has an electric potential. This potential is different for every metal. The galvanic series is a list of this potential arranged from the most "active",lower potential to the most "noble", higher potential. The terms "noble" and "active" means that when two metal are connected the most "active", with the lower potential will corrode, while the metal with the higher potential, the "noble" material will not corrode. The galvanic series, the potentials, are different in different electrolyte.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt sollution?
bcoz CU is situated at a lower poistion in activity series of metal as compared to ZN.
What is the importance of metal activity series on displacement reactions?
Metals higher in the reactivity series displace metals that are lower down. This concept has wider application than simply metals.
Can electronegativity be factor to determine the activity series of a metal?
There is a possibility that electronegativity can determine the activity series. This activity could knock ions out of solution and ranking in a series.

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.
Metal activity series?
my God ! make your own ! XD
What are some examples of chemical activity?
when a metal can replace another metal in a chemical reaction - it is a chemically active metal
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)
In which part of the periodic table are the elements at the top of the activity series?
The most active metals are at the top of the table, and the least active ones are at the bottom. Manganese, copper, and zinc are all examples of the most active metals, and each metal is able to displace the elements below it from a solution.
What is a base metal?
A base metal is any metal at the lower end of the electrochemical series which oxidizes readily.
