Which is more reactive zinc or nickel?

Answer 1

Iron is more reactive than copper because it is higher up on the activity series. There is more reasons to back this up such as outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Nickel is 28th on the Periodic Table, where copper is right next door as 29th element. Nickel is a silvery-white metal, while copper is pinkish in its unoxidized state and turns steadily from orange to brown once oxidized by the air, which happens rapidly. By contrast, nickel maintains a bright, shiny surface MUCH longer than copper, and is highly resistant to corrosion. This makes it especially useful for durable surface finishes, such as in coins and electrical contacts. Nickel is strongly attracted by magnetic fields, while copper is not. Nickel has a natural hardness of about 4 on the Mohs scale, where copper is a bit less at 3.5. Nickel is an important metal in electroplating, particularly as a barrier metal to restrain copper. For instance, if gold is electroplated directly over copper, the copper will slowly permeate the gold and eventually turn it (and your skin) green from copper carbonate. Nickel metal is thus electroplated over the copper to provide a barrier, and gold is then electroplated over the nickel. There are many other differences between the two metals, but this is a good start.

Answer 3

Zinc is more reactive than nickel. This is because zinc has a higher tendency to lose electrons to form positive ions compared to nickel. This means that zinc is more likely to undergo redox reactions and react with other substances.

Answer 4

Nickel is more reactive than Copper. If you have chemistry reference tables Table J shows which metal or non-metal is more reactive or less reactive than the other. Hope I helped =3

Answer 5

Many elements are more reactive than copper, like Magnesium, Zinc, Sodium, etc.
