The redox activity series lists reactions as
M?n+ + n e?- → M
with lithium at the top and gold at the bottom. Which statement best describes the redox activity series?
a. The list is in order of molar mass with lithium at the top. Gold is the heaviest metal in the table.
b. The list is in order of number of electrons removed from the metal, so n = 1 at the top and n = 3 at the bottom.
c. The list is alphabetical.
d. It is easiest to oxidize elements at the top of the list and it gets harder as you go down the series.
