I think it's Zinc
because some metals are less reactive than hydrogen.
Lithium is two of these but at the same time neither. It's an element. It is best described as an element, a type of atom with unique properties. If the number of neutrons varied, the multiple lithium atoms would be called isotopes. As for neutral vs. ion, if the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, it is neutral. If it is not, it is an ion, specifically anion (less protons) or cation (more protons). It will always be a neutral atom or ion. It will always be an isotope, but only called so when in a group of lithium atoms with various numbers of neutrons.
A cheating agent has a crab-claw-like ligand which coordinates to the metal ion. This decreases the concentration of free transition metals in solution so there is less chance of oxidation. An example of a chelating agent is the rosemaric acid.Chelating agents (such as EDTA) chelates the divalent metal ions such as Mg2+ or Zn2+
Thorium: 90 protons Uranium: 92 protons

This chemical element is calcium (Ca).
because some metals are less reactive than hydrogen.
The fact that the element has 13 protons indicates that this element is aluminum. The number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number of an element. Every element has its own unique atomic number that never changes in ordinary chemical or physical reactions.
The number of protons is not changed.
Preferably in modern nomenclature, by capital "Roman numerals" within parentheses immediately following the name of a transition metal element cation in a chemical compound. For transition metal elements that have only two common cationic oxidation states, the oxidation states can alternatively be indicated by the suffix "ic" for the more positive oxidation state and "ous" for the less positive ones. Examples are "ferric" for "iron (III)" and "ferrous" for "iron (II)". If the transition metal is in an anion, the most common indication is with suffixes and prefixes, but the appended oxidation state in parentheses can also be used. Details may be different for different transition metals and should be sought in an authoritative reference source.

Nickel belongs in family(or group) 10, transition metals. The elements in this group are Nickel, Palladium, Platinum, and Ununnilium, in order of increasing atomic mass. A link is provided.
lead has more protons less densely arranged
No. A metal will replace any less active metal.
Electrons have ~1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons
