Concept explainers
Interpretation: The positions of given metals vanadium and scandium in the activity series are to be predicted and the metal which will be tested to firmly establish scandium’s position in the activity series is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Any metal mentioned in the activity series can only be reduced by a metal above it on the other hand another metal can be oxidized by the metal below it. According to the activity series of metals strong reducing agents are present at the top of the series list and strong oxidizing agents are present at the bottom of the series.
To determine: The position of metals vanadium and scandium by using table
