Reactivity Series of Metals
Chemistry ⇒ Metals and Non-metals
Reactivity Series of Metals starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Reactivity Series of Metals.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
A solution contains both copper(II) ions and silver ions. If a piece of zinc is added, which metal(s) will be deposited?
A strip of metal X is placed in a solution of metal Y sulfate. If no reaction occurs, what can you infer about the relative positions of X and Y in the reactivity series?
A student adds a piece of magnesium ribbon to copper(II) sulfate solution. What observation will be made and why?
Arrange the following metals in order of decreasing reactivity: Magnesium, Iron, Sodium, Lead.
Describe the relationship between the reactivity series and the ease of metal extraction from ores.
