Reactivity series
- This series helps predict the outcomes of reactions involving metals, such as displacement reactions, and their ability to react with acids, water, and oxygen.
- order of their reactivity from highest to lowest.
Reactivity Series of Metals
- Potassium (K) - highly reactive

- Iron (Fe)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Tin (Sn)
- Lead (Pb)
- Hydrogen (H) - (non-metal included for reference)
- Copper (Cu) - less reactive
- Mercury (Hg)
- Silver (Ag)
