CHEMISTRY Inorganic Chemistry Reactivity Series of Metals

Reactivity Series of Metals

The reactivity series ranks metals by their chemical activity, guiding metal extraction and reactions

10 Dec 2025

Why are metals higher in the reactivity series more difficult to extract from their ores compared to metals lower in the series?

Because they are less abundant in the Earth's crust Because they react less with acids and water, making extraction slower Because they form more stable compounds that require more energy to break down during extraction
