Answer #1

Metals release valence electrons and each differs in how they do it. Some can release electrons easier than others and this is called activity. The activity series is a way in which the elements are arranged according to the ability to release electrons.

The reactivity of metals will also depend on this. The most active metals will be able to displace other metals (less active) found in a solution.

So the order of relative reactivity of metals given in the problem is as follows:

Β > Mg > Fe> χ > H2 > Cu > α
