How does the activity series determine the anode of a voltaic cell? the anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily reduced. the anode is the metal that is lower on the list because it is more easily reduced. the anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily oxidized. the anode is the metal that is lower on the list because it is more easily oxidized.

The anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily oxidized.

 The anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily oxidized.

Explanation: The Anode of the voltaic cell is the electrode on which the process of oxidation takes place.

Oxidation is the process in which highly reactive metal which is higher in the electrochemical series loses electrons which goes into the solution.

Thus The anode is the metal that is higher on the list because it is more easily oxidized.

For eg- In a reaction cell of Copper-Iron, Iron(Fe) will get oxidized because it is placed higher in the electrochemical series whereas Copper(Cu) will get reduced.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.
