Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind ‘gold is a good metal to be used in jewelry’ is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Metals are arranged on the basis of their reactivity in a series, which is known as the activity series.

The metals with a high negative value of reduction potential has the highest activity and it decreases on moving down in the activity series.
