write reactivity series of elements given in lesson :Metals and nonmetals.
Answers
Answer:Nonmetal activity series is a list in which nonmetals are arranged in the decreasing order of their reactivity. Similar to metals, we can also arrange nonmetals in terms of their reactivity. During displacement reactions, a more active nonmetal displaces a less active nonmetal from a compound.
The reactivity series of metals, also known as the activity series, refers to the arrangement of metals in the descending order of their reactivities.
The data provided by the reactivity series can be used to predict whether a metal can displace another in a single displacement reaction. It can also be used to obtain information on the reactivity of metals towards water and acids.
A chart of the reactivity series of common metals is provided below.
Reactivity Series of Metals
Metals tend to readily lose electrons and form cations. Most of them react with atmospheric oxygen to form metal oxides. However, different metals have different reactivities towards oxygen (unreactive metals such as gold and platinum do not readily form oxides when exposed to air).
