Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following metals is most likely to be oxidized?
  • Step 1: Understand what oxidation means. Oxidation is when a metal loses electrons.
  • Step 2: Know that some metals are more reactive than others. Reactive metals lose electrons more easily.
  • Step 3: Look at the list of metals provided in the question.
  • Step 4: Identify which metal is known to be highly reactive. Sodium is a well-known reactive metal.
  • Step 5: Compare sodium with the other metals on the list. Determine if they are less reactive than sodium.
  • Step 6: Conclude that since sodium is highly reactive, it is most likely to be oxidized compared to the others.
