Put the metals caesium calcium and potassium in order of reactivity most reactive first?

Potassium is the most reactive, followed by caesium, and then calcium. This is because reactivity generally increases moving down Group 1 of the periodic table due to decreasing ionization energy and increasing atomic size.


What element would be more reactive than magnesium?

Magnesium is more reactive than copper because if you study the periodic table, you will be able to find out that Magnesium is more reactive.Also, coins are made out of copper, they choose copper because it is cheap and extremely unreactive.Furthermore, I've done an experiment to find out that Magnesium is more reactive than Copper by putting both elements into Water/Acid.


Which is the most reactive iron zinc magnesium copper?

Sodium is by far the most reactive. It self ignites in air (it is stored in oil), reacts vigorously with water (releasing hydrogen) and reacts explosively in acids-even dilute. But the most reactive metal is Cesium and the most reactive non-metal is Flourine Cesium and H20 will explode...


Does cupric chloride react with Mg?

Yes, cupric chloride (CuCl2) reacts with magnesium (Mg) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and copper (Cu) as a product. This is a single replacement reaction where magnesium displaces copper from the compound.


Is magnesium more reactive than carbon?

Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal and has two electrons in its valence shell that are easily given off to reactive species such as oxygen. Copper, however, has a different electron configuration. If you are familiar with orbitals, copper has a filled 3d orbital, which is the highest energy orbital. The unfilled orbital, 4s, is actually lower energy and will not be lost as easily since that would make the 3d orbital unfilled since one or two of those 3d electrons have to go down to fill the 4s orbital (thus Copper forms 1+ and 2+ ions). If I've completely lost you, the take-home message is that copper's reactive electron is not on its highest energy orbital and its highest energy orbital is filled. In contrast, the highest energy orbital is Magnesium is the same as its valence shell.

What is the reactivity series for copper and calcium and sodium and potassium and lithium?

The reactivity series from highest to lowest reactivity is: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, lead, copper, silver, gold. In this series, copper is less reactive than calcium, sodium, potassium, and lithium. Copper will not displace these metals from their compounds in solution (e.g., copper will not displace calcium from calcium chloride).


What metal is most reactive with hydrochloric acid out of magnesium and copper?

Magnesium is more reactive with hydrochloric acid compared to copper. When magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid, it produces hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride, while copper does not readily react with hydrochloric acid.


Why will magnesium metal react with copper sulfate solution while copper metal will not react with magnesium sulfate solution?

Magnesium is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series (reactive metal atoms displaces less reactive metal ions from its salts).therefore : Mg displaces CU from its salt forming MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulphate)


Is potassium more reactive than copper?

Yes, potassium is more reactive than copper. Potassium is a highly reactive metal, readily reacting with water and air. Copper, on the other hand, is less reactive and does not easily react with water or air under normal conditions.


Why does magnesium and copper sulfate react?

When magnesium metal is added to a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where magnesium replaces copper in the compound. This is because magnesium is more reactive than copper. As a result, magnesium sulfate is formed, while solid copper is deposited as a residue.


Why does magnesium react with copper nitrate?

magnesium is more reactive than copper so,it displaces copper from its salt solution.


Why does magnesium displace copper from copper sulphate?

This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. .... magnesium + copper sulphate ---> copper + magnesium sulphate Mg + CuSO4 ----> MgSO4 + Cu the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal. Hope this helps. :)


Does copper react with magnesium sulphate?

No, but magnesium ribbon will react with copper sulphate


What happens when copper metal reacts with potassium cyanide?

Copper metal is less reactive than potassium so it will not react with potassium cyanide.


The differences in the reactions of potassium magnesium and copper with water?

Potassium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming potassium hydroxide. Magnesium reacts slowly with water, liberating hydrogen gas and forming magnesium hydroxide. Copper does not react with water at room temperature due to its low reactivity with water molecules.


Is calcium less reactive of potassium calcium and copper?

Yes.
