Reactivity Series: Finding and Ordering Reactivity of Metals

The video tutorial explains how to define and order the reactivity of metals. It uses examples of potassium and copper to illustrate reactivity, showing that potassium is more reactive due to its tendency to form positive ions. The tutorial then ranks metals like lithium, sodium, and potassium based on their reactions with water, and zinc, copper, and magnesium based on their reactions with acids. A reactivity series is created, highlighting the most and least reactive metals. The video concludes by comparing the reactivity of magnesium and sodium, emphasizing the importance of the reactivity series.
