Can someone explain the reactivity table to me for chem.?
reactivity table for metals list them in their tendency to lose electrons & thus become positive ions Na> Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > fe > pb> Cu > ag this order can be assembled by looking at a standard reduction potential table its use come in when running a single replacement reaction,. in which you add a metal element to a compound… & predict the the reaction will work , if the element you add is more reactive than the one in the compound: Zn & (Cu+2 & SO4-2) –> (Zn+2 & SO4 -2) & Cu it will work since Zn is more reactive than CU ================== reactivity table for nonmetals list them in their tendency to take electrons & thus become negative ions F2> Cl2 > Br2 > I2 this order can be assembled by looking at a standard reduction potential table its use come in when running a single replacement reaction,. in which you add a nonmetal element to a compound…
