Iron is more reactive than copper because it is higher up on the activity series. There is more reasons to back this up such as outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. Hope this helps you.

∙ 8y agoNickel is 28th on the Periodic Table, where copper is right next door as 29th element. Nickel is a silvery-white metal, while copper is pinkish in its unoxidized state and turns steadily from orange to brown once oxidized by the air, which happens rapidly. By contrast, nickel maintains a bright, shiny surface MUCH longer than copper, and is highly resistant to corrosion. This makes it especially useful for durable surface finishes, such as in coins and electrical contacts. Nickel is strongly attracted by magnetic fields, while copper is not. Nickel has a natural hardness of about 4 on the Mohs scale, where copper is a bit less at 3.5. Nickel is an important metal in electroplating, particularly as a barrier metal to restrain copper. For instance, if gold is electroplated directly over copper, the copper will slowly permeate the gold and eventually turn it (and your skin) green from copper carbonate. Nickel metal is thus electroplated over the copper to provide a barrier, and gold is then electroplated over the nickel. There are many other differences between the two metals, but this is a good start.

What is more reactive calcium or more reactive?
Calcium is more reactive but not as Potassium or Sodium because according to the displacement series Calcium comes as third and the last under the reactive elements of the displacement series.
Which is the most reactive iron zinc magnesium copper?
Sodium is by far the most reactive. It self ignites in air (it is stored in oil), reacts vigorously with water (releasing hydrogen) and reacts explosively in acids-even dilute. But the most reactive metal is Cesium and the most reactive non-metal is Flourine Cesium and H20 will explode...
How do you convert lead nitrate to metallic lead?
If you have a solution of Lead nitrate, place some zinc, or iron into it and the metals will displace.Zn(s) + PbNO3(aq) → ZnNO3(aq) + Pb(s)Any metal that is more reactive than lead, such as tin, nickel, iron, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, barium, potassium, lithium. That order is in order from least reactive to most reactive. Note that the more reactive it is the faster and more exothermic (heat produced) the reaction will be. I would personally use aluminum as you can get foil which is thin (large surface area) and much more reactive.
Which metal is more reactive neon or copper?
Neon is not even a metal! It is a noble gas, so relatively unreactive. Copper is a moderatly unreactive metal, more reactive metals include pottassium, sodium, zinc & iron.
How copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not zinc?
zinc is more electropositive and therefore is highly reactive metal.hence it can not be easily displaced from its solution of ZnSO4.on the other hand,copper is less electropositive and can be readily displaced from its solution more active metal such as zinc. Zn + Cu2+ ------> Zn2+ + Cu
Is nickel or Xenon more reactive?
Nickel is more reactive.
Is mercury more reactive than zinc?
Zinc is more reactive than mercury.
Why is copper more reactive than zinc?
Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.
Which is more reactive iron or zinc?
zinc
What electrode is more reactive copper or zinc?
Zinc
What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?
zinc
How reactive is zinc?
zinc is very reactive, if you leave zinc out in air, it will oxidize, that's how reactivie it is.
What metal is more reactive than lead but less reactive than zinc?
In between these two, there are nickel, tin lead and hydrogen.They all are more reactive than copper but less reactive than iron.For your convenience, here is the reactive series of elements in order of decreasing reactivity:-Potassiumsodiumbariumcalciummagnesiumaluminiummanganesezincironnickeltinleadhydrogencoppermercurysilvergoldplatinum
Why is zinc is more reactive than iron?
Zinc is more reactant than Iran because it is able to lose it's electrons alot easier. bascically if there was a fight between the two of them then the zinc would win because it is more reactant.
What mental is more reactive than zinc?
There are many metals that are more reactive than zinc. To find out which these metals are, you can look at a reactivity series. Some examples of metals more reactive than zinc are sodium, potassium, magnesium & aluminium.
Is magnesium more reactive than nickel?
No chromium is more reactive than chromium because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel. No chromium is more reactive than nickel because it it located farther right on the periodic table than nickel.
Which is more reactive in oxygen silver or zinc?
no its not.
