The element is sodium. It is highly reactive, reacting violently with water because it is an alkali metal with one excess electron. Table salt is sodium chloride, and is an ionic salt made up of sodium ions and chloride ions in a giant lattice structure.
Potassium (K) is an element. It is available on the periodic table of elements.
Silver is not highly reactive and is considered a noble metal. It does not easily react with most chemicals but can react with sulfur compounds in the air, leading to tarnishing or discoloration of the metal.
it displaces the less reative metal and replaces it.
Potassium is the most reactive element among potassium, iron, and aluminum. It is a highly reactive metal that easily forms compounds by losing one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The first element in the halogen group is fluorine. It is a highly reactive non-metal with a pale yellow hue.
A reactive non metal is an element that can gain the electrons or is more electronegative
If by vital you mean most reactive, then the metal francium, Fr, is the most reactive element.
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
the highly reactive metal is potassium
Start with a more reactive metal or element and a less reactive metal or element in solution or in contact with each other. The more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its solution or compound, resulting in a new compound containing the more reactive metal and a separate less reactive metal. The displacement reaction follows the activity series of metals, where more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
Sodium (Na) is a highly reactive element so it cannot be found in free state but we can have it in compound form like NaCl.
A more reactive metal pushes out a less reactive metal out of a compound element, eg. CuSo4+Mg=MgSo4+Cu
Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal element. It readily gains an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, making it highly reactive.
Potassium (K) is an element. It is available on the periodic table of elements.
Silver is not highly reactive and is considered a noble metal. It does not easily react with most chemicals but can react with sulfur compounds in the air, leading to tarnishing or discoloration of the metal.
it displaces the less reative metal and replaces it.
A more reactive metal pushes out a less reactive metal out of a compound element, eg. CuSo4+Mg=MgSo4+Cu
