9. Consider the following information and answer the questions which follow.

A strip of a metal A, which forms A + ions, when placed in a solution containing Fe2+ ions causes Fe
metal to be deposited. In contrast a strip of metal B, which forms B2+ ions , does NOT displace Fe2+
from solution.

a. Arrange the metals A, Band Fe from these least to the most reactive element.
