Reactivity Series of Metals

The video tutorial explores the reactivity of metals, focusing on zinc, copper, potassium, calcium, iron, lithium, magnesium, and sodium. It demonstrates experiments with cold water and hydrochloric acid to rank these metals by reactivity. The tutorial explains the reactivity series, highlighting how metals form positive ions and their tendency to react. It concludes with practical advice on using the reactivity series for understanding displacement reactions.
