No, strontium is more reactive than calcium.
The radius of a cadmium atom is smaller than the radium of a mercury atom. The trend for atomic radius is that the radius becomes larger toward the left side of the row and toward the bottom of the group.
An isotope has extra or fewer neutrons in the nucleus than the average number for that element. This may or may not result in a radioactive isotope. An ion has extra or fewer electrons orbiting the nucleus. This usually increases the chemical reactivity.
When it becomes an ion it is loosing electrons causing the effective nuclear charge to increase which draws the remaining electrons in closer which makes the ion smaller than the atom.
pretty much everything is larger than an atom.
No, strontium is more reactive than calcium.
strontium is more reactive than calcium because it is more electropositive. valance electrons of strontium are farther away from the nucleus of strontiium atom than the valance electrons of calcium from nucleus of calcium atom. so the force exerted by the nucleus on the valence electron of strontium is lesser than that exerted by calcium. so the strontium atom can loose its valance electrons more easily. therefore strontium is more electropositive and more reactive than calcium.

The electronegativity of barium is less than that of strontium.

Calcium contains 20 protons, 20 neutrons and 20 electrons (on average). Barium has 56 protons 81 neutrons and 56 electrons (again, on average). So, Barium is much larger.
Calcium is more reactive. In the periodic table, Calcium is directly below Magnesium, which means that a calcium atom is larger than a magnesium atom. This means that the electrostatic attraction between the valence electrons of calcium and the nucleus is weaker than in magnesium(larger distance, smaller force). So, the valence electrons of calcium can easily be lost to form Ca2+ , which translates to Calcium being the more reactive metal.
Calcium has a larger radius (not raduis) than copper.

its larger
an atom is larger than an element
