Reactivity increases the farther down you go in the Periodic Table.
The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase when the atomic number increase.
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
The reactivity of the alkali metals increases as you go down column 1 (or 1A) in a periodic table. This occurs because the first ionization energy of the metals decreases, as a result of "shielding" the outermost electrons from the attraction of the positive nucleus by the inner electrons.
The reactivity increases with increasing numbers of electron shells (energy levels).
Th reactivity of alkali metals increases from the top of Group 1A to the bottom
Reactivity increases the farther down you go in the Periodic Table.
The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase when the atomic number increase.
the reactivity increases as you go down the group
Alkali metals are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.They are the metals with the higher chemical reactivity.
Group one, the alkali metals
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Down the group, reactivity decreases for non metals. It increases for metals.
The metals listed are all alkali metals or alkali-earth metals. The periodic trend for these groups is: as you move down the group/family, reactivity increases. The alkali metals will be more reactive than the respective alkali-earth metals.Sodium and lithium are alkali metals, so you can organize them first. Sodium is further down in the family than lithium, so we can say that sodium is the most reactive out of the group, followed by lithium. Then we have barium and radium left. Radium is slightly more reactive than barium due to its position, so it is third and barium is fourth.

Very reactive elements are alkali metals and halogens.
The alkali metals are more reactive.
