metal + soln. of its ions leads to discharging of the ions into atoms. ions with lower discharge potential get discharged first. what factors influence the low discharge potential and is their a series similar to activity series with the order of these elements? does it depend on ionisation enthalpy for anions and electronegativity for cations?

Discharge potential is ability of an ion to get discharge at electrode. Ion with less discharge potential will be discharged first.
