Question
Chapter 16, Problem 18E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The oxidation of metals present at the top of the activity series is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
In activity series, the metals are arranged in decreasing order of their electron losing tendency.
The top metals easily lose electrons than the bottom metals.
Activity series is used to determine the results of the single displacement reactions where one metal is replaced with another metal in the solution.
