===About The Reactivity Series===
: The '''Reactivity Series''' is used to predict the outcome of [[Displacement Reaction]]s. [[Element]]s higher on the '''reactivity series''' will [[Displacement Reaction|displace]] those lower down on the '''reactivity series'''.
: [[Carbon]] and [[Hydrogen]] are important in the [[Reactivity Series]] as they can indicate how a [[metal]] can be [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]] from its a [[oremineral]].
: [[Element]]s below [[Hydrogen]] are found [[Native]] which means the [[metal]] [[element]] can be found not as part of a [[compound]].
: [[Element]]s above [[Hydrogen]] but below [[Carbon]] are found in [[mineral]]s, which are [[metal]] [[compound]]s , so they need to be [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]] by using [[Carbon]] to [[Displacement Reaction|displace]] the [[metal]] from the [[compound]].: [[Element]]s above [[Carbon]] are found in [[metal]] [[compoundmineral]]s but they cannot be [[Extraction of Metals|extracted]] with [[Carbon]] because [[Carbon]] is less [[Reactivity|reactive]] than those [[metal]]s so we use [[electrolysis]] to [[Extraction of Metals|extract]] them.
