1.

In your own words, describe a single replacement reaction. Be sure to include information about the activity series and how to tell if a reaction will take place.


2.

Which metal on the activity series (shown above) is the least reactive?

3.

Rank the following metals from most reactive to least reactive: iron, calcium, lead

4.

In a single replacement reaction, the most reactive metal will end up in a bond while the least reactive metal will be found as an element.

5.
