It's important to note that plutonium and uranium (element names are not normally capitalized in the middle of a sentence) have isotopes which are stable enough that their reactivity is experimentally known, while the most stable isotope of francium has a half-life of about 20 minutes. Francium's reactivity is therefore partially a matter of conjecture... the energy given off by its radioactive decay would literally vaporize any reasonably sized piece.

That said, as an alkali metal francium would be much more reactive than uranium or plutonium, both of which are transition metals.

Which is more reactive urainium or plutonium?

The Pauling electronegativity of uranium is 1,38; the Pauling electronegativity of plutonium is 1,28.So, plutonium is a bit more chemically reactive than uranium.

Which is the most reative metal?

The most reactive metal is francium. Francium is a highly unstable alkali metal and is usually found in trace amounts in uranium and thorium ores. It readily reacts with air and water, making it one of the most reactive elements known.
