PLANTS CONTAINING METALS
 |
|||||||
Potential series of the metals. A list of metals arranged in order of the magnitudes of their molar electrode potentials, i.e. the potential difference between the metal and a normal solution of one of its salts. Metals with high negative electrode potentials stand at the head of the electromotive series. The list represents the order in which the metals replace one another from their salts, a metal higher in the series replaces one lower down; similarly, metals placed above hydrogen will liberate it from acids. The chief metals in order are Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Manganese, Zinc, Cadmium, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Tin, Lead, (hydrogen), Copper, Mercury, Silver, Platinum, Gold.
