Data Analysis
Carefully analyze the Data collected in the Data Table.
Arrange the four metals in order of their increasing relative reactivity. From least reactive to the most reactive.
Write details justification for your selection of the order.
Using your own words, explain what is a relative reactivity? And explain what happens to the electrons during a redox process?
