Which of the following is the correct order of reactivity of metals?

Which of the following is the correct order of reactivity of metals? Correct Answer Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag

Greater the oxidation potential of metal, the more easily it can lose electrons and hence greater is its reactivity. As a result, a metal with greater oxidation potential can displace metals with lower oxidation potentials from their salt solutions. Hence, the correct order of reactivity is Mg > Zn > Fe > Cu > Ag.
