The metals occuring at the lower most position in the electromotive series____________________?
Correct answer: D. Resist corrosion very strongly
- A. Do not resist corrosion
- B. Are heat insulators
- C. Are very brittle
- D. Resist corrosion very strongly
Explanation
At the noble, lower end of the usual electromotive or electrochemical series, metals have less tendency to lose electrons and are therefore more resistant to corrosion. This is why metals such as gold and platinum occur near that end.
