What is the reactivity series?
Show answer
The reactivity series is a list of metals in order of how readily they react, most reactive at the top. A common order is:
What are extraction of metals?
Show answer
Most metals are found combined in compounds called ores, so they must be extracted. The method depends on the metal's reactivity:
