A Sodium
B Potassium
C Iron
D Calcium.
it will be calcium as ,iron is below aluminium in the reactivity series and the metal 'X' is more reactive than Al. as K
Ans 1:
Class : Class 9
according to reactivity series K>Na>Ca>Mg>Al>Zn>Fe>Pb>H>Cu>Hg>Ag>Au>Pt the metal should be between Al and Cu and hence Fe is the answer
