Question

we know zn is the free element. according to the activity series below, which element is more reactive? most reactive least reactive li na k mg al zn fe ni sn pb h cu ag pt f₂ cl₂ br₂ i₂ magnesium is more reactive than zinc. zinc is more reactive than magnesium. magnesium and zinc are equally reactive.

Explanation:

The activity series lists elements from most reactive to least reactive. Magnesium (\(Mg\)) is placed before zinc (\(Zn\)) in the series. In the activity series, elements higher up (closer to the "Most Reactive" label) are more reactive. Since \(Mg\) comes before \(Zn\), magnesium is more reactive than zinc.

Answer:

Magnesium is more reactive than zinc.
