The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statement related to the electrochemical series, we will analyze each of the provided statements step by step. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Electrochemical Series**: - The electrochemical series is a list of elements arranged in order of their standard electrode potentials. It indicates the tendency of a species to be reduced (gain electrons) or oxidized (lose electrons). - Metals at the top of the series have more negative electrode potentials, indicating they are more likely to be oxidized and thus are stronger reducing agents. 2. **Analyzing Each Statement**: - **Statement 1**: "The electrochemical series is not the arrangement of metals and ions according to their reactivity." - This statement is incorrect. The electrochemical series is indeed an arrangement based on reactivity, specifically in terms of their electrode potentials. - **Statement 2**: "The metal ions at the top of the electrochemical series are highly electronegative." - This statement is also incorrect. The metals at the top of the series are highly electropositive, not electronegative. They have a tendency to lose electrons rather than gain them. - **Statement 3**: "Strongly electropositive metals can displace weakly electropositive metals from their salt solution." - This statement is correct. A more electropositive metal can displace a less electropositive metal from its salt solution due to its higher tendency to oxidize. - **Statement 4**: "All metals above hydrogen in the series do not displace hydrogen from dilute acid." - This statement is incorrect. Some metals above hydrogen can indeed displace hydrogen from dilute acids if they have a sufficiently negative electrode potential. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all four statements, the only correct statement is **Statement 3**: "Strongly electropositive metals can displace weakly electropositive metals from their salt solution." ### Final Answer: The correct statement related to the electrochemical series is **Statement 3**. ---
