Over the years, enterprising scientists have thought of many ways to categorise and arrange the known metallic elements - the Periodic Table of the Elements being the best known - but perhaps the most accessible and useful is the Reactivity Series. The following series includes the best-known metals:
Potassium Most reactive
Sodium ↑Calcium ↑
Magnesium ↑
Aluminium ↑
Zinc ↑
Iron ↑
Tin ↑
Lead ↑
Copper ↑
Silver ↑
Gold Least reactive
A number of mnemonics exist to help people remember the Reactivity Series; one big problem, however, is that different versions of the series exist, containing different numbers of metals. 'Please Stop Calling My Zebra In Class' is commonly used to remember a seven-metal Reactivity Series of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper.

The most reactive metals of all?
fluorine
Are all alkaline earth metals reactive?
no
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
They are highly- reactive metals
Why are the elements in Group 1 the most reactive?
Because they are all alkali-metals and alkali -metals are known for being very reactive.
