Question

1. Rank the metals from most reactive to least reactive. How can you distinguish between them? 2. How does the order of reactivity relate to the position of the metal on the periodic table?
Metals: Na Ca Cu Mg Zn Fe 1. Rank the metals from most reactive to least reactive. How can you distinguish between them? 2. How does the order of reactivity relate to the position of the metal on the periodic table?
Metals: Na Ca Cu Mg Zn Fe 2. How does the order of reactivity relate to the position of the metal on the periodic table?
Metals: Na Ca Cu Mg Zn Fe

Explanation / Answer

alkali metals --> Na,

alkaline earth metals --> Mg < Ca

transition metlas --> Zn < Fe < Cu

then

Na < Mg < Ca < Zn < Fe< Cu

Q2

they relate as follows:

the more to the right of the table, the more stable

the more to the left, the more reactive

this si mainly because of the amount of e- available to react
