The reactivity series , Corrosion

  The reactivity series :-- The reactivity series is a list of metals arranged in the order of their decreasing activities. The reactivity series is also called as activity series. Reactivity series or activity series is an empirical calculated and structurally analytical progression of a series of a metals which are arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest.   The following series known as reactivity series are given below :-- Potassium        K                                                         most reactive Sodium             Na Calcium            Ca Magnesium      Mg                                                    (Reactivity decreases from top to bottom) Aluminium        Al Zinc                   Zn Iron                  Fe Lead                 Pb Hydrogen        [H] Copper            Cu Mercury          Hg Silver               Ag Gold                 Au                                                         least reactive
