If you place elements nickel and xenon and lithium in order from least to greatest how would they go?

Lithium, Nickel, Xenon.


Which would be least reactive because its last electron shell is full with 2 electrons 1.helium 2.neon 3.lithium 4 bromine?

helium


Would you expect to find lithium as an uncombined element in nature?

No, lithium is very reactive metal and you would expect it find it as one of the ions ion present in minerals.


Is lithium hard to make for a school project?

Depends on what you mean by "making" lithium. You can refine lithium from a lithium compound, which would be quite difficult. You would have to use a process called electrolysis. Lithium itself is highly reactive and flammable. You should not attempt something like this if you have not completed at least one college-level chemistry class or if you have not consulted a professional chemist or chemistry professor. Actually creating lithium from other elements would require a particle accelerator. You probably would not have access to such resources unless you are doing PhD-level work.


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.

What is more suitable for making airplanes lithium or osmium?

Lithium is highly reactive. So osmium would be better for this.

What element is used to treat depression?

A medicines used to treat depression is often referred to as lithium but it is NOT the element lithium. Taking pure lithium metal would be very dangerous as it is a very reactive alkali metal.


How do you convert lead nitrate to metallic lead?

If you have a solution of Lead nitrate, place some zinc, or iron into it and the metals will displace.Zn(s) + PbNO3(aq) → ZnNO3(aq) + Pb(s)Any metal that is more reactive than lead, such as tin, nickel, iron, manganese, aluminum, magnesium, sodium, calcium, barium, potassium, lithium. That order is in order from least reactive to most reactive. Note that the more reactive it is the faster and more exothermic (heat produced) the reaction will be. I would personally use aluminum as you can get foil which is thin (large surface area) and much more reactive.

What is the reactivity of lithium?

Lithium is a highly reactive metal because it has one electron that it needs to donate to enable it to have a filled outer energy shell. Lithium reacts vigorously with water. Lithium reacts by donating an electron.


Which Alkali metals would undergo the least exothermic reaction with chlorine?

Most likely lithium since it has a the highest ionization energy than the others.


What is the least reactive element in the group 2 of the periodic table of elements?

The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.


Of the gases oxygen argon chlorine and neon which 2 would be the most chemically reactive?

The elements from most reactive to least reactive are: Chlorine, Oxygen, Argon, and Neon.
