Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Metals And Reactivity (Section 2 - No. 31)

Which of the following statements are true about the reactivity series?
The reactivity series can be used to predict whether a displacement reaction will occur.
Metals at the top of the series readily lose electrons.
The reactivity series lists elements in order of increasing atomic mass.
The reactivity series is determined by reactions of the metals with water, oxygen, and acids.

Explanation

The reactivity series is determined by reactions with water, oxygen and acids and is used to predict displacement reaction. Metals high in the series will lose electrons readily.
