Activity Series

You dont have to memorise it...Just look at the Reduction tables and just move Na up before K...so there will be Li, K, Na, then the rest of them....that's it....

If you're still insistent though, on learning the reactivity series, my teacher gave us one:

Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Zinc, Iron, Tin, Lead, Copper, Mercury, Silver, Gold
