cesium
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.
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.
Alkali metals are very reactive and can react with the majority of other nonmetal elements.
In addition to hydrogen, all elements in Group I of the periodic table have one valence electron. They are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The farther you move right on the periodic table the more valence electrons. For example, elements in Group VII have 8 valence electrons except helium.
Basically The First Column. The First Column is referred to as Alkali Metals. Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium.

Alkali metal is a term that refers to six elements: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. These elements make up group I of the periodic table of elements. They all form singly-charged positive ions, and are extremely reactive. They react violently with water, forming hydroxides and releasing hydrogen gas and heat. Cesium and francium are the most reactive and lithium is the least.
Potassium is in group 1 and the group elements are hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium

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.
The first group of the periodic table contains the reactive alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
Potassium. It has two extra shells than lithium.
