Question

patterns of attraction quick check
use the reactivity series to answer the question
most reactive
potassium
sodium
calcium
magnesium
aluminium
zinc
iron
tin
lead
copper
silver
gold
the non - metal carbon is between aluminium and zinc
the non - metal hydrogen is between lead and copper
least reactive
in a replacement reaction, which metal would replace aluminum?
(1 point)
sodium
gold
zinc
copper

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the reactivity series

In a replacement reaction, a more reactive metal can replace a less reactive metal.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Sodium: It is above aluminium in the reactivity series (more reactive).
• Gold: It is below aluminium (less reactive).
• Zinc: It is below aluminium (less reactive).
• Copper: It is below aluminium (less reactive).

Answer:

sodium
