Amalgam
amalgam is formed by reaction of mercury with other metal. Na-Hg is sodium amalgam
When a more reactive metal sacrifices itself for a less reactive metal to prevent the lesser reactive metal from rusting. :-)
caesium is the most reactive non-radioactive metal and Florine is the most reactive non-metal, but francium is the most reactive, radioactive metal

"very reactive"
Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal.
Gold is a less reactive metal but not non-reactive; all metals are reactive.
the highly reactive metal is potassium
