Mnemonics for the Reactivity Series

7

I'm doing the Edexcel iGCSE Chemistry, and as far as I am aware, the following is the reactivity series that needs to be learnt. I would really really appreciate if you could share some mnemonics to help with learning this. Thanks :smile:

Potassium
Sodium
Lithium
Calcium
Magnesium
Aluminum
(Carbon)
Zinc
Iron
(Hydrogen)
Copper
Silver

Here's a mnemonic I used to use back when I did my O levels: Kisses Nice Can Make A Zebra Feel Pretty Happily Cool Again (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, Zn, Fe, Pb, Hg, Cu, Ag). This doesn't include lithium so just remember it's between Nice and Can.

Hope that helps?
