Yes, potassium is more reactive than lithium, since although they both need to lose one electron to have full outer shells, potassium's outer electron is furthest from the positive attractions of the nucleus. Therefore, it is easier for potassium to lose its outer electron than it is for lithium.

Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
Is magnesium more reactive than lithium?
Lithium is more reactive to water than magnesium because while Lithium will explode and generally destroy the container it is in, magnesium will cause the water to violently bubble.
Is copper more reactive than gold?
Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
Why is lithium more reactive then beryllium?
I think lithium should be more reactive as it has only 1 valance electron wheres Boron has 3 valance electrons. The electro positivity(tendency to lose electrons) of Lithium is greater then Boron, therefore more reactive.
Why can iron be used to get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Iron is more reactive than copper
Which is more reactive lithium or carbon?
Reactivity of any metal depends on its capacity to loose electrons as quickly as possible. Among Lithium, Copper and tungsten, lithium is the most reactive since it looses electrons very quickly and forms its cation. In fact, it is among the most reactive metals.
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than Neon.
Is magnesium more reactive than lithium?
Lithium is more reactive to water than magnesium because while Lithium will explode and generally destroy the container it is in, magnesium will cause the water to violently bubble.
Why is copper more reactive than zinc?
Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.
Which is the less reactive - aluminum or lithium?
Aluminium is much less reactive than Lithium.
Is copper more reactive then aluminium?
No, copper is less reactive than aluminum.
Is lithium more reactive than aluminum?
Yes.
Is copper more reactive than hydrogen?
No. Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper according to the reactivity series.
Is copper more reactive than gold?
Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
Is aluminium more reactive than copper?
no,almuminium is more reactive
Lithium is more active than aluminum?
Apex - trueYes, lithium is more active (reactive) than aluminum.
Which metals is more reactive copper or sodium?
I think sodium is more reactive than copper, because on the Reactivity Series list sodium is higher than copper.
