Ionization tendency problem
« on: May 28, 2019, 07:06:30 AM »
There are three metals A, B, and C. Read a) and b) , and arrange A, B, and C in order of decreasing ionization tendency.

a) A dissolves in dilute nitric acid, but B does not.
b) C reacts with water at room temperature, but A and B do not.

I don't have any idea how to do it. Please give me some hints and I will try to solve them again.
