Reactivity Series of Metals Quiz

15 Questions

Quiz Description

This quiz is made up of 15 questions on the reactivity series of metals. Each question has 4 options, 1:, 2:, 3: and 4: and only one of these four options is correct. These questions cover everything that you need to know about the reactivity series of metals in chemistry and also, the questions are up to the examination standard with varying difficulties. 

In chemistry,  Reactivity is the tendency of a substance to undergo chemical reaction, either by itself or with other materials, and to release energy, a reactivity series (also known as the activity series) is therefore a progression of metals that are empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical, arranged with respect to their reactivity from highest to lowest. It is used to give brief information about reactions of metals with acids and water, extraction of metals, and so on.
