Question
What information does the activity series of metals give?A.It predicts if one metal will replace another metal in a compound.B.It gives the ionic charges of most metals on the periodic table.C.It identifies which metals have the highest electronegativities.D.It tells which metals will react with nonmetals to form compounds.
Solution
The activity series of metals provides information about the reactivity of metals. Specifically, it:
A. Predicts if one metal will replace another metal in a compound. This is because the activity series ranks metals in order of reactivity. A metal can replace any metal below it in the series in a compound.
B. It does not give the ionic charges of most metals on the periodic table. The ionic charge of a metal is determined by its group on the periodic table, not its position in the activity series.
C. It does not identify which metals have the highest electronegativities. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, and is not related to the activity series.
D. It does not directly tell which metals will react with nonmetals to form compounds. However, it can give some indication of this, as more reactive metals are more likely to react with nonmetals.
