SAT chemistry question

<p>Zinc is more active metal than copper is. How come?</p>

<p>this is not a time to be wondering “why?”… it’s a time to be freaking out, sleeping less and overeating junk food because we’re 4 days from the exam and i dont know ****!! =)</p>

<p>erm… i think zinc must be less electronegative… or have a smaller ionization energy or something <em>scratches head</em>… do they actually ask such indepth questions?</p>

<p>It looses an electron easily, so it’s more reactive. That is IT! Just know the reactivity series and you’re good to go!</p>
