Which of the following is the correct order of reactivity of metals?(a) Zn > Mg > Fe > Cu > Ag(b) Zn > Mg > Fe > Ag > Cu(c) Mg > Zn > Fe > Ag > Cu(d) Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > AgThe question was asked during an internship interview.The question is from Electrochemistry in portion Electrochemistry of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (d) Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag

For explanation: Greater the oxidation potential of metal, the more easily it can lose electrons and hence greater is its reactivity. As a result, a metal with greater oxidation potential can DISPLACE METALS with LOWER oxidation potentials from their salt solutions. Hence, the correct order of reactivity is Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag.
