Question

Assertion (A): Different metals have different reactivities with water and dilute acids.
Reason (R): Extraction of a metal from its ore depends on its position in the reactivity series.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The reactivity of metals varies, affecting their reactions with water and acids. The method of extraction (e.g., electrolysis for highly reactive metals, reduction for less reactive ones) depends on their reactivity series position.
