Do not understand the reduction stuff in my notes
« on: May 07, 2009, 02:39:44 PM »
"Gven the table attached in a .doc file, order the metallic ions in increasing ability to undergo reaction."

How do I do this?

The most reactive ion is that which reacts with the biggest amount of other ions.

Does "most reactive" mean that it undergoes reduction or oxidation better and why?

Oh by the way before I made a mistake here:

"Gven the table attached in a .doc file, order the metallic ions in increasing ability to undergo reaction."

I meant:

"Gven the table attached in a .doc file, order the metallic ions in increasing ability to undergo reduction."

Does it mean that the more Yes' there are, the ion is able to undergo oxidation better than the ones with less Yes' and that additionally, the more No's there are, the greater the ions ability to undergo reduction.

Is the above right or is it the other way around?
