Electrochemical series is a series of chemical elements arranged in order of their standard electrode potentials. 
the oxidising agent are those which have a tendency to accept electrons , more the value of reduction potential , higher the tendency to accept electron . 
thus , these will increase from top to bottom in the series . 
simmilarly , less the value of reduction potential , lower the tendency  of accept electron . 
and bottom to top reducing charecter increase .
