Reactivity series
Analytical progression of a series of metals arranged by their reactivity in descending order / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Electrochemical series.
In chemistry, a reactivity series (or reactivity series of elements) is an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression[1] of a series of metals, arranged by their "reactivity" from highest to lowest.[2][3][4] It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water, single displacement reactions and the extraction of metals from their ores.[5]
