  • Silver (Ag) does not react with Oxygen (O) even at a high temperature because of the less reactivity of Sliver.
  • Reactive elements displace the less reactive elements in a chemical reaction.
  • The reactive element loose electrons readily to attain stable electronic configuration and thus reduce another element and oxidize themselves.
