Mnemonic - The Reactivity / Electrochemical Series

The suggestable mnemonic for the Reactivity Series is :
Please Send Camels, Monkeys And CARBON Zebras with HYDROGEN In Tom's Large Containers of Solid Gold


Please (Potassium)
Send (Sodium)
Camels (Calcium)
Monkeys (Magnesium)
And (Aluminium)
CARBON
Zebras with (Zinc)
HYDROGEN
In (Iron)
Tom's (Tin)
Large (Lead)
Containers 0f (Copper)
Solid (Silver)
Gold

Whereas, for the Electrochemical Series, the suggestable mnemonic is :
Please Send Camels, Monkeys And Zebras In Tom's Large HYDROGEN Containers of Solid Gold

The reactivity series and the electrochemical series are quite similar except for the addition of carbon element and different position of hydrogen element in the reactivity series. Therefore, it is advisable for you to just memorised carbon and hydrogen at heart.
