Do we get the highest voltage by combining the highest and lowest reactive metals? Introduction. Atoms are the basis of chemistry; they are the building blocks for everything in the Universe. Atoms of hydrogen are the simplest and lightest, and atoms of uranium are the heaviest that occur naturally. All atoms consist of a central core called the nucleus, which possesses a certain number of protons and neutrons of positive charge surrounded by a cloud of electrons, each of which has unit negative charge. Their total negative charge is exactly equal to the positive charge on the nucleus; hence the atom as a whole is electrically neutral. Theory. To understand this experiment the reactivity series has to be introduced, this list of metals shows how reactive each individual metal is to certain circumstances (e.g.: How well sodium reacts to water, or air) The higher the metal in the series, the more reactive it is-...
