I am looking for information on the electrolytic reactivity of metals, preferably something that is worded so that I can understand it. Something with a chart that tells me what voltages the metals begin to react to electolysis would be great. Thanks in advance.
 
Like standard electrode potentials:

although similar but not the same is the reactivity series of metals:
http://www.google.com/search?output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=standard+electrode+potentials+&btnK=#sclient=psy-ab&q=reactivity+series+of+metals&oq=reactivity+series+of+metals&gs_l=serp.12...31641.36621.0.38205.29.9.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.14.psy-ab.iMGNV_Ugr0U&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.46751780,d.aWc&fp=8526038e809b8fdf&biw=939&bih=563
 
Something to be aware of: The standard potentials are measured under standard conditions, namely a electrolyte concentration of 1 mol/l

Until now I never measured exactly the theoretically expected values, when I made school experiments. Obviously because in the hurry I never had really standard conditions.
