@Wolgwang so why'd u wanna play it lol

@RajdeepSindhu btw do u play chess? like how much? do u know like some openings, center control, castling and stuff like that?

@Wolgwang sorry a bit lost here....subs?

@HrishabhNayal nope, just casual stuff, lol

@Wolgwang XD

@Wolgwang btw, a question for you : state true or false...the reactivity of an element depends on its position in the reactivity series

Wolgwang

9:16 AM

@RajdeepSindhu True

It also depends on its position in periodic table. Reactivity series doesn't contains all elements.

Rajdeep Sindhu

9:41 AM

I would say that it's false, in a sense

Because the reactivity of an element depends on it's chemical "composition" and other chemical properties, and not vice versa...correlation doesn't equal causation or dependence, after all.

An analogy :

Let's say that we have a list containing the names of some students, arranged in descending order of their knowledge of, say, mathematics.
Now, would you say that the knowledge a kid has of mathematics depends on their name in the list? I would not because the knowledge a kid has depends on how much they've studied, instead.

@RajdeepSindhu I would say that the knowledge a kid has of mathematics depends on their order of their name in the list if the order that was created is accurate (which is not possible).

How are you linking elements to students?

I don't know about the accuracy of the order of the students but reactivity series was created by experiments.

> This list was created experimentally by studying the reactions between metals and oxygen, water and acid.

Oh I saw in a sense now. LOL

@Wolgwang XD

@Wolgwang It's the other way around and I don't think it goes both ways.

Let's see what @HrishabhNayal has to say about this.

@Wolgwang :O

@RajdeepSindhu 8 19

@RajdeepSindhu AFAIK reactivity isn't even a scientific term, that has like a proper definition. It's like electronegativity somehow except the later has a relative numbering scale.

IIRC reactivity series is based on the electrochemical potentials of the element

although I am not sure of any of this, I must say. So like always I's suggest JEE Chem room. I honestly don't know much chem :|

dat wasn't even da point, bro

@HrishabhNayal hmm?

@RajdeepSindhu what was the point then? (-4,3) ?

@RajdeepSindhu those are atomic numbers translating to : OK
