Based on the equations below, which metal is the least active? Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Ni (s) --> Ni(NO3)2 (aq)+ Pb(s) Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s) --> No reaction Cu(

Ni

Explanation:

An active metal is a highly reactive metal. Active metals are found high up in the activity series.

Active metals react with other metals that are lower than them in the activity thereby displacing the lower metals from a solution of their salts. This is what may have happened in the other two reactions.

Ni is the most active metal listed in the question since it can react a compounds with Pb(NO3)2(aq) to liberate Pb metal.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
