    Metal Symbol Reactivity: Activity Series of Metals

    Uploaded by

    Margarette Manalo
    The document presents an activity series of metals that shows their reactivity levels. Metals at the top of the list like lithium, potassium, and sodium can displace hydrogen from water and acids to form hydroxides. Metals in the middle like iron, chromium, and zinc can only displace hydrogen from acids to form hydroxides. Metals at the bottom like gold, platinum, and silver cannot displace hydrogen at all and instead form oxides when reacting with oxygen.

    displaces H2 gas from steam and acids and forms hydroxides

    displaces H2 gas from acids only and forms hydroxides

    included for comparison combines with O2 to form oxides and cannot displace H2

    found free in nature, oxides decompose with heating
