the reactivity series goes like this: Potassium K, Sodium Na, Calcium Ca, Magnesium Mg, Aluminium, (carbon C), Zinc Zn, Iron Fe, Lead Pb, (hydrogen H), Copper Cu, Silver Ag, Gold Au. the very reactive ones are K - Ca, the fairly reactive ones are Mg - Zn, the not very reactive ones are Fe - Cu, the not at all reactive ones are Ag & Au
