one example of a reaction in which two compounds combined to form a single compound
magnesium
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.
Barium is a more reactive metal and is located near the bottom of the reactivity series. It will react vigorously with water to form barium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
The alkali metals are the metals in Group 1 (the first column of the periodic table). Hydrogen is also in Group 1, and so is technically considered to be part of the alkali metal group/family. Hydrogen is in fact a non-metal, however, and does not generally exhibit behavior similar to the other Group 1 elements.
Hydrogen gas is produced when a metal reacts with a dilute acid. This reaction occurs when the metal displaces hydrogen from the acid, forming metal salts and releasing hydrogen gas as a byproduct.
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.
It compares how reactive the metals are It predicts if one metal will replace another metal in a compound
"Carbon and hydrogen are often included in the reactivity series even though they are non-metals. Carbon is included because this helps to explain what happens in the extraction of iron in a blast furnace. Hydrogen is included because any metal below it will not react with dilute acids."http://www.frankswebspace.org.uk/ScienceAndMaths/chemistry/reactivitySeries.htm
It gives salt and H2.But metals below Cu in activity series do not give those.
Hydrogen is not included in all metals. In fact, hydrogen is not a metal but a non-metal gas. While hydrogen can interact with some metals to form compounds like metal hydrides, it is not a component of all metals.
Due to follwing reasons:Lightest element with lowest atomic number.similarity in electronic configuration.Same number of valence electrons.
Acid will make a salt of that metal and free hydrogen, from the acid, if that metal is lower then hydrogen in the electro- motive series
A metal replaces a metallic ion below it on the list.
Metals higher in the series will replace metal ions in solution that are lower in the series
my God ! make your own ! XD
Yes, that is correct. The activity series ranks metals based on their reactivity with water and acids, with the most reactive metals at the top and the least reactive at the bottom. So, if metal X is lower than metal Y in the activity series, it means metal X is less reactive or less active than metal Y.
It predicts of one metal will replace another metal in a compound.
