some rocks are more reactive than others because of what theyve got in them.

Some rocks are more reactive than others due to differences in their mineral composition. Rocks that contain minerals that are chemically unstable or have a greater tendency to react with other substances will be more reactive. Additionally, the presence of certain elements or ions in the rock can also make it more prone to chemical reactions.

Which one is the most reactive metal potassium lithium or sodium?
Cesium. Cesium is the bad boy of the alkali metals, a period that's just jam-packed with seriously nasty elements. Cesium is reactive enough that if you were to put some water into dry ice, and wait till the ice got that cold itself before putting some cesium on it, the cesium would still react with it! Here's a remembrance: the higher an alkali metal's atomic number, the more reactive it is.
Is potassium highly reactive or not usually reactive?
Potassium is highly reactive, even explosive in some circumstances.
Are transition metals reactive?
non-reactive
Is calcium more reactive than aluminium?
yes. because calcium is almost never found in nature due to its high reactivity with water, but we can find copper metal in nature.
Are aryl halides more reactive or unreactive?
Quite the opposite: halides are far LESS reactive than halogens.A halide is a binary compound consisting of one halogen atom plus one atom, or radical, of "something else" that's electropositive to the halogen. (Which isn't hard to be.)Fluorine is a halogen, and it's very reactive. If you mix some sodium with it, it becomes a non-reactive halide; they put tons of this stuff in toothpaste and so far no one's reported having it cause their teeth to explode.Chlorine is also a reactive halogen, but mix it with sodium and it becomes table salt.
Why are some rocks more permeable than others?
Some rocks are softer and more sedimentary than others. This allows water to weather them faster, thus causing higher permeability.
Is metal virtually un reactive?
Some metals, notably potassium and sodium are highy reactive. Others eg bronze are much less so.
Is it true that Inside rock is space and you jusrt cant precieve it?
Yes. Some rocks have more space than others.
Why is manganese very reactive?
Manganese is not particularly reactive. This is strange considering it is more electropositive than its neighbors in the periodic table.
Why do different rocks weather at different rates?
Depending on the minerals in their composition, some rocks are harder than others. Rocks that contain minerals with higher ratings on the Mohs scale are harder, and would erode more slowly than other rocks.
Why do some rocks crumble and others not?
because it feels like
Do crabs hide under rocks?
Some do others don't.
Are some oceans saltier than others?
yes because more salt is dissolved at the bottom of the sea
What mental is more reactive than zinc?
There are many metals that are more reactive than zinc. To find out which these metals are, you can look at a reactivity series. Some examples of metals more reactive than zinc are sodium, potassium, magnesium & aluminium.
Typical price for crushed rock per ton?
Some rocks cost 100 times more than others - and that's just plain rocks, not gems. So pick a rock, any rock.
Why are some noble gases reactive than others?
because they have completely filled outer most energy levels
What elements are reactive?
There are many reactive elements. They show up more on the upper left of the Periodic Table. Some of these are plutonium, uranium, Mercury and lead.
