Compare the reactivity of the Transition Metals with the elements in Group 2. This investigation aims to find out how magnesium ribbon reacts with various chlorides including zinc chloride, iron chloride, copper chloride, nickel chloride and cobalt chloride, as compared to the reactivity of the elements in group two. All the elements that combine with the chloride ions to form the compounds are transition metals. Reactivity series. The reactivity series is a list of metals in order of reactivity with the most reactive metal at the top of the list and steadily decreasing reactivity down the list. The list is as follows: Potassium K Sodium Na Calcium Ca Magnesium Mg Aluminium Al Zinc Zn Iron Fe Lead Pb Copper Cu Mercury Hg Silver Ag Platinum Pt Note: this list could be shorter or longer depending upon the number of metals you wish to consider. As I have mentioned above, all the elements that have been combined with the chloride ions to form the chloride compounds...
