Answered by Nereida

Zinc oxidises (loses electrons) more easily than hydrogen whereas copper does not do so. So, copper does not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.

Answer:

copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series, thats why

Explanation:

order of reactivity:

any thing that has reactivity higher than hydrogen can react with acids and displace hydrogen. that is the reason why Zn can but Cu cannot.
