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...
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Which element is most reactive potassium or iron or alumimum?
Potassium is the most reactive element among potassium, iron, and aluminum. It is a highly reactive alkali metal that readily reacts with water and air. Iron is moderately reactive, while aluminum is reactive but forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further reaction with the environment.
Is iron magnetic or non magnetic?
Most types of Iron are magnetic, however depending on its composition and purity, there are kinds that are not magnetic. For example, Steel is mostly Iron, Carbon, and a few other lesser materials, and can be magnetic. Pure Iron is of course magnetic. The iron in your blood, however, is not the magnetic variety. It all depends on the composition.
Will kerosene dissolve copper?
Kerosene will not dissolve copper. Copper is a non-reactive metal, so it is not easily dissolved by most common solvents.
What metals Aluminum Copper Iron Magnesium Manganese or Zinc should be the most reactive towards oxygen?
Magnesium is the most reactive towards oxygen among the metals listed. When exposed to oxygen, magnesium will quickly form a layer of magnesium oxide on its surface, which gives it a dull appearance.
What element is most reactive sodium magnesium or iron?
Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
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.
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.
Why is the magnesium the most reactive metal among silver copper lead zinc and iron?
Magnesium is the most reactive metal among silver, copper, lead, zinc, and iron because it has a high tendency to lose electrons, making it readily form compounds with other elements. Its outer electron configuration makes it easier for magnesium to react with other substances compared to the other listed metals.
Why is magnesium most reactive if it reacts with hydrochloric acid among lead copper silver zinc iron?
Magnesium is more reactive than lead, copper, silver, zinc, and iron because it has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form magnesium ions. When magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid, it displaces hydrogen from the acid to form magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. This reaction is more vigorous compared to the reactions of the other metals mentioned.
How do you Arrange the following in the increasing order of their reactive sodiumcopperirongoldmagnesiumzinc?
The increasing order of reactivity is: gold, copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, sodium. This is based on the reactivity series of metals, where metals higher in the series displace metals lower in the series from their salts in solution. Gold is the least reactive, while sodium is the most reactive.
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).
Will iron displace copper from copper sulphate?
There is a particular reactivity series in metals, which decides that which metal is more reactive then the other.The one on the top is the most reactive and the one on the bottom is the least.The reactivity Series is as follows:1.Potassium- K -----Most reactive2.Berium-Ba3.Calcium-Ca4.Sodium-Na5.Magnesium-Mg6.Aluminium-Al7.Zinc-Zn8.Iron-Fe9.Nickel-Ni10.Tin-Tn11.Lead-Pb12.Hydrogen-H213.Copper-Cu14.Mercury-Hg15.Silver-Ag16.Gold-Au17.Platinum-Pt ------Least Reactive.Now, here we see that iron is on the top then copper.It means that iron is more reactive then copper. Thus it replaces copper in its solution.Copper sulphate solution is blue in colour but if iron comes in its contact then the solution turns green due to formation of iron sulphate.Such reaction in which one less reactive metal is displaced by a more reactive one is called 'DISPLACEMENT REACTION'Dated: 3 August 2009 Aditya Choubey.VIII B, Delhi Public School,Vijaipur, Distt.

What will diplace copper from copper sulphate soluctions?
Any metal more reactive than copper can be the replacing metal in copper sulfate solution reactions. Iron and zinc are the most common metals replacing copper in these reactions.
What are the most important metal elements?
Answer: iron, aluminium, sodium, potassium, uranium, magnesium, copper, gold, calcium, silver etc.
What elements are more reactive than lead?
In the group 2 elements, the reactivity of the metals increase as you move down the group. The order of reactivity in group 2 is barium, strontium, calcium, and magnesium.
