This question is meaningless without more information. What is meant by 'active'? If you mean reactive, then they are similar, both being alkali metals with 1 valence electron.
As you go down the periodic table, elements become less reactive. Therefore, potassium (K) is more reactive than cesium (Cs) because cesium is located further down the group compared to potassium.
Of the elements listed by atomic symbol, Cs has the largest atoms.
Group 1 Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
Elements in Group 1 include, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
Examples: Na, K, Li, Cs, Ba, Ca, etc.
In a single replacement reaction, the element that is most active is the one that is higher up on the reactivity series than the element it is trying to replace. The more active element will displace the less active element in the reaction.
Caesium and potassium are similar alkaline metal elements.
In terms of reactivity, Potassium(K) is the most reactive element among group 1 elements.
No, calcium (Ca) is not the most active element. The most active elements are typically found in Group 1 of the periodic table, such as sodium (Na) and potassium (K), which readily react with water and air.
K
Rb (rubidium) is the largest element among K (potassium), Rb (rubidium), Na (sodium), and Li (lithium). This is because as you move down a group in the periodic table, the atomic size increases due to the addition of more electron shells.
Potassium, with an Atomic Number of 19, is designated by the symbol 'K'.
