An activity series is a list of substances ranked in order of relative reactivity. For example, magnesium metal can knock hydrogen ions out of solution, so it is considered more reactive than elemental hydrogen: Mg(s) + 2 H+(aq) rightarrow H2(g) + Mg2+(aq) Zinc can also displace hydrogen ions from...

But magnesium metal can remove zinc ions from solution: Mg(s) + Zn2+(aq) rightarrow Zn(s) + Mg2+(aq) read less

The activity series is a useful guide for predicting the products of metal displacement reactions. For example, placing a strip of zinc metal in a copper(II) sulfate solution will produce metallic copper and zinc sulfate, since zinc is above copper on the series.

The reactivity series or activity series is an empirical, calculated and a structurally analytical progression of a series of metals, in order of "reactivity" from highest to lowest. It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water, single displacement reactions...
