ACTIVITY SERIES Help you predict whether or not a given reaction will occur and what the products will be
Think back for a minute… From previous knowledge, which groups can you expect to be the most and least reactive? I expect everyone to know the answer!
Activity Series Metals: greater activity    greater loss of electrons (form positive ions) Nonmetals: greater activity    greater ease of gain of electrons (form negative ions)
Activity Series The order is determined by single-displacement reactions The most-active element is at the top of the series and can replace any element below through a single-displacement reaction
