The "Activity Series of Common Metals" enables chemists to predict which reactions are possible. A more active metal, one higher in the table, is able to displace a less active metal, one listed lower in the table. Arrange Copper (Cu), Magnesium (Mg), and Zinc (Zn) in order of their activities, listing the most active first. v Zn v Cu v Mg
