The Reactivity Series

Some metals are more reactive than others. We put then in order of their reactivity in a series that starts with the most reactive.

This is the Reactivity Series.

Sodium				Metal: very reactive
Calcium				Metal: very reactive
Magnesium				Metal: fairly reactive
Aluminium				Metal: fairly reactive
Carbon				Not a metal, but included in series
Zinc				Metal: fairly reactive
Iron				Metal: not very reactive
Tin				Metal: not very reactive
Lead				Metal: not very reactive
Hydrogen				Not a metal, but included in series
Copper				Metal: not very reactive
Silver				Metal: not reactive
