Interpretation: The metals that dissolve in
Concept Introduction: Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
Reduction is the gain of electrons.
When oxidation and reduction simultaneously takes place, then it is known as redox reaction.
In balanced redox reaction, each of the atoms on both sides of reactions is equal.
In the activity series of metals, the most reactive metals are present at the top of the list.
Metals that lie above
Metals that lie below
