Reactivity decides the method

Reactivity decides the method

The reactivity series lists metals in order of how readily they react. Carbon is a reference point: zinc, iron, and copper are below carbon and their oxides can usually be reduced using carbon. Hydrogen may also appear in a reactivity series, but it is not a metal and is not included in this group.
