What else can I help you with?
What metal is very reactive and kept under oil?
Any of the alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, etc.
What is a metal so reactive it has to be kept under oil?
Potassium, and Ceasium. Maybe Lithium as well. Alkali earth metals anyway.
Why are alkali metals stored in oil and kerosene?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
What do you put metals in depending on how lively they are?
Metals can be arranged in an activity series based on their reactivity. More reactive metals are placed in a solution of less reactive metals to displace them and form a metal salt solution, while less reactive metals remain unreacted.
Why do we use oil to store group 1 metals?
group 1 metals are stored under oil because they are so reactive, they will react with the oxygen and water in the air if you leave them unprotected, keeping them under oil prevents this from happening, as water and oxygen can't pass through the oil and get to the metal. . .hope this helped pall =].
What metal is very reactive and kept under oil?

Is most metals reactive.?
Most metals are reactive to some extent, but their reactivity varies. Some metals, such as gold and platinum, are less reactive and do not easily tarnish or corrode. Other metals, like sodium and potassium, are highly reactive and must be stored in oil to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
What is a metal so reactive it has to be kept under oil?
Potassium, and Ceasium. Maybe Lithium as well. Alkali earth metals anyway.
What is the 3 most reactive metals?
The three most reactive metals are potassium, sodium, and lithium. They react quickly with other substances, such as water and oxygen, to form compounds. They are stored under oil or inert gases to prevent reaction with moisture in the air.
Why are reactive metals stored in oil?
Reactive metals such as sodium and potassium are stored in oil to prevent them from reacting with moisture or oxygen in the air. When exposed to air, these metals can react vigorously and potentially catch fire. Storing them in oil creates a barrier that helps to prevent these reactions.
Are alkali earth metals reactive?
Alkali earth metals are less reactive than alkali metals but they still react readily with oxygen and water, forming oxides and hydroxides. They are stored under oil or inert gases to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
Why are alkali metals stored in oil and kerosene?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Potassium, sodium, and lithium are softer and more reactive than other metals. They are typically stored in oil or kerosene to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
What are the most reactive elements in the group of akali metals?
The most reactive elements in the group of alkali metals are cesium and francium. They are highly reactive due to their low ionization energy and tendency to lose their outermost electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Due to their reactivity, they are stored under oil to prevent reaction with moisture in the air.
What do you put metals in depending on how lively they are?
Metals can be arranged in an activity series based on their reactivity. More reactive metals are placed in a solution of less reactive metals to displace them and form a metal salt solution, while less reactive metals remain unreacted.
