Order of Reactivity Confusion
Students often confuse the order of metals in the reactivity series, particularly mixing up the positions of zinc and iron.
To fix this, students should create a mnemonic or visual aid to remember the correct order: 'Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Calcium, Magnesium, Carbon, Zinc, Iron, Hydrogen, Copper, Gold'.
