The list of elements in order of the reactivity. The most recative element is put at the top of the list.
Reactivity Series
2 of 20
A reaction in which oxygen is removed (or electrons are gained).
Reduction
3 of 20
The breakdown of substace containing ions by electricity.
Electrolysis
4 of 20

Cast Iron
6 of 20
A mixture of metals (and sometimes non-metals).
Alloy
7 of 20
An alloy of iron with small amounts of carbon or other metals, such as nickel and chromium, added.
Steel
8 of 20
Alloy of iron containing controlled, small amounts of carbon.
Carbon Steel
9 of 20
Alloy of iron containing small amounts (1 to 5 percent) of other metals.
Low-alloy steel
10 of 20
Expensive alloy of iron mixed with relatively large proportions of other metals.
High-alloy Steel
11 of 20
