Ag, Cu, Fe, H, Mg, Ni, Pb, Sn, Zn

Solutions

Expert Solution

lead should be more reactive than tin. Lead reacts with air to form a thin coating of PbO and/or PbCO3, which protects the metal from further reaction. it bursts into flame in the presence of oxygen. Tin does not react with either air or water at room temperature.

magnesium has an electronegativity of 1.3 and zinc has an electronegativity of 1.7 where aluminum has an electronegativity of 1.6, the lower the electronegativity the more easily an atom loses electron that's why magnesium is more reactive than zinc and aluminum, but magnesium is not the most ...
