  5. Activity Series of the Elements • The ability of an element to react is referred to as the element’s activity. • The more readily an element reacts with other substances, the greater its activity is. • An activity seriesis a list of elements organized according to the ease with which the elements undergo certain chemical reactions • For metals, greater activity means a greater ease of loss of electrons, to form positive ions. • For nonmetals, greater activity means a greater ease of gain of electrons, to form negative ions.

  6. Activity Series of the Elements • The order in which the elements are listed is usually determined by single-displacement reactions. • The most-active element is placed at the top in the series. • It can replace each of the elements below it from a compound in a single-displacement reaction. • Activity series are used to help predict whether certain chemical reactions will occur. • Activity series are based on experiment.

  9. Example According to the activity series for metals, aluminum replaces zinc. Therefore we could predict that the following reaction does occur. 2 Al (s) + 3 ZnCl2 (aq)  3 Zn (s) + 2 AlCl3 (aq) Cobalt, however, cannot replace sodium. Therefore we write the following. Co (s) + 2 NaCl (aq)  no reaction

  10. Practice • Using the activity series will these reactions occur? If the reaction will occur, write the products and balance the equation. MgCl2 (aq) + Zn (s)  Al (s) + H20  Cd (s) + O2 (g)  I2 (s) + KF (g) 
