Answer:
Electrochemical series is a series of chemical elements arranged in order of their standard electrode potentials. The hydrogen electrode
H+(aq) + e- →← 1/2H2(g)
is taken as having zero electrode potential. An electrode potential is, by definition, a reduction potential.
Elements that have a greater tendency than hydrogen to lose electrons to their solution are taken as electropositive; those that gain electrons from their solution are below hydrogen in the series and are called electronegative.
