strontium is more reactive than calcium because it is more electropositive. valance electrons of strontium are farther away from the nucleus of strontiium atom than the valance electrons of calcium from nucleus of calcium atom. so the force exerted by the nucleus on the valence electron of strontium is lesser than that exerted by calcium. so the strontium atom can loose its valance electrons more easily. therefore strontium is more electropositive and more reactive than calcium.

Does zinc react with calcium sulphate?
Yes, zinc reacts with calcium sulphate . It reacts to produce zinc sulphate and calcium.
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.
Which is more reactive na or li why?
On haeting Ca is more reactive in water Li is more reactive.
What is the balanced equation of calcium and zinc nitrate?
Zinc nitrate is an amphoteric compound, hence it will react with the reactive metal (calcium). Zn(NO3)2 + Ca --> Ca(NO3)2 + Zn The above is a displacement reaction, where the more reactive calcium displaces the less reactive zinc.

What element reacts with H2O to produce H2?
All metals more reactive than Zn: Al, Mg, Na, Ca, Ba, K, Li

Which is more reactive Mg or Ca Why?
Calcium is more reactive. In the periodic table, Calcium is directly below Magnesium, which means that a calcium atom is larger than a magnesium atom. This means that the electrostatic attraction between the valence electrons of calcium and the nucleus is weaker than in magnesium(larger distance, smaller force). So, the valence electrons of calcium can easily be lost to form Ca2+ , which translates to Calcium being the more reactive metal.

Do elements Ba and Ca belong to the same group on the periodic table?
Yes they do. The group goes Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
What element is most active out of Be Mg Sr Ca?
Barium (Ba) is the most electropositive element. In general, electropositivity (reverse of electronegativity) decreases across the rows of the periodic table and increases down the columns.
What would be most reactive toward fluorine K Ca Sc Co?
Ca
Which of the following elements has the lowest electronegativity ba ca mg sr?
Barium(Ba)
Are Ba and Ca metals or nonmetals?
they are metals
