Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Refer to your knowledge of the activity series of metals.

1. Which of the following metals is the MOST reactive?

Copper (Cu)

Zinc (Zn)

Gold (Au)

Potassium (K)

2. A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound in a solution. This is known as a:

Combination reaction

Decomposition reaction

Single displacement reaction

Double displacement reaction

1. The activity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing .

2. Metals above hydrogen in the activity series can react with acids to produce gas.

1. Silver is more reactive than copper.

True

False

2. Sodium reacts violently with water because it is a very reactive metal.

True

False

1. Explain how the activity series can be used to predict whether a single displacement reaction will occur.

2. Briefly describe the relative reactivity of alkali metals compared to transition metals based on the activity series.
