Potassium is more reactive in water. This is due to the fact its outer shell is further from the attractive forces of the nucleus and therefore the electron in the outer shell is more easily lost - allowing a reaction to take place.
They each have 1.
one of them fizzes in the water and moves around really fast, the other one sinks and fizzes and last but not least i think "k" lights up in the red water!
The outer shell contains 1 electron, ns1 Li [He] 2s1 K [Ar]4s1

Lithium + water = lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Sodium + water = Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Potassium + water = Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
All of them except for Li, Na, K, and the ones that are gaseous at room temperature.
Group 1 Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
