The alkali metals are more reactive.
The chemical reactivity of transition metals is generally less than that of metals to its left (group 1 and group 2 metals). However, transition metals can exhibit various oxidation states and hence form more number of compounds than group 1 and group 2 elements.
Water and oxygen.
Boron (atomic number 5) is more reactive than neon (atomic number 10).
pH 6 is a very weak acid and pH 9 is an alkaline
The alkali metals are more reactive.
Electronegativity is a measure of the reactivity; see the link below.
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).

All alkaline earth metals and their salts are reactive and they have a blue-print that identifies them as an alkaline earth metal but metals exist as metals, and salts as salts, with different structural compounds.
The transition word "finally" is not particularly useful in a compare and contrast essay, as it is more suited for concluding or summarizing an argument rather than showing a comparison or contrast between different ideas.
Some useful transition words or phrases for a compare and contrast essay include "similarly," "on the other hand," "in contrast," "likewise," "however," and "on the contrary." These transitional phrases help guide the reader through the similarities and differences between the subjects being compared.
pH 6 is a very weak acid and pH 9 is an alkaline
Aluminium. This is because aluminum is "higher" than carbon in the reactivity series. You may wish to refer to the reactivity series if you need to compare the relative reactivities of other metals.
"Similarly" is a transition word that is useful in a compare contrast essay to show similarities between two ideas or subjects.
