Lithium by far, it is an alkali metal. Alkali metals are known to explode when they are placed in water (hydrogen gas is released). Nitrogen has two electrons to fill, and alkali metals have one electron to give off. Think of it as 2>1. Just know that lithium is more reactive than nitrogen.
The elements listed are Group 1 elements, the Alkali metals. They include lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). Use the link below to check facts and learn more.
Na is chemically more like Li than Mg, only physically (measurements, mass) it looks more like Mg
Helium has completely filled orbitals. hence it is stable and does not react with other elements.
On the periodic table, there are periods that are rows, and groups that are columns. Elements in the same group react like the other elements in the group.
lithium
I think lithium should be more reactive as it has only 1 valance electron wheres Boron has 3 valance electrons. The electro positivity(tendency to lose electrons) of Lithium is greater then Boron, therefore more reactive.
Lithium is wayy more reactive... like, duh? An elements reactivity depends on its ionisation energy (the amount of energy required to remove one electron from the atom) and if you look at a periodic table the ionisation energy is known to increase across the table and decrease down it. Berylium is further across the table than lithium so you'd expect it to have a lower ionisation energy and be less reactive. This is because beryllium (atomic number 4) has 4 protons, which cause a positive charge and subsequent attraction of electrons, while lithium has the atomic number 3 and therefore only has 3 protons to attract its electrons. Lithium is a Group I alkali metal, while Beryllium is a Group II alkaline earth metal. Group I Alkali metals are generally more reactive as they only need to lose one electron to have a complete outer shell.
Beryllium (Be) is the least reactive among magnesium (Mg), lithium (Li), and beryllium (Be). Beryllium forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further reactions with air, whereas magnesium and lithium react more readily with oxygen and moisture in the air.
Sodium is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less reactive than potassium.
No, strontium is more reactive than beryllium.
Beryllium and Lithium have many differences. Lithium reacts readily with water, where Beryllium does not. Lithium has a fairly low melting point, and Beryllium has a high melting point. Beryllium is highly toxic, and Lithium is fairly nontoxic. Both are metals, and have metallic appearance and conduct electricity but Beryllium more brittle than Lithium is.
No, magnesium cannot replace lithium in a single replacement reaction because lithium is more reactive than magnesium. In single replacement reactions, a more reactive element will displace a less reactive element from a compound, but this is not possible in this case due to the reactivity trend.
Element X is more reactive than lithium and magnesium because it has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions, making it more likely to react with other substances.

Definitely lithium. Lithium is a Group I alkali metal, while Beryllium is a Group II alkaline earth metal and are on the same period. Group I Alkali metals are generally more reactive as they only need to lose one electron to have a complete outer shell.
Adding one proton to a lithium atom would create a beryllium atom because the number of protons would increase from 3 to 4. This change would make the element more reactive and alter its chemical properties.
