Metal activity series:
- The metals are arranged in an activity order that is known as the metal activity series.
- The more active metals are present at the top of the series whereas the less active metals are put at the end of the series.
- The metal activity series is as follows-
Explanation:
- Metals on top of the activity series can displace metals at the bottom and they are highly reactive as compared to metals at the bottom of the series.
- Metal 'X' displaces metal 'Y' from its salt solution, so 'X' is more reactive than 'Y'.
- Metal 'X' Can not displace metal 'Z' from its salt solution, so 'Z' is more reactive than 'X'.
So reactivity order of these metals will be:
Z > X >Y.
So, metal 'Z' will be the most reactive metal among all.
