the number of valence electrons and their energy has an effect on an elements reactivity
there are sub shells s p d ... the electrons are more stable when they are in pairs of 2 in the sub shells k has 1 electron in the 4s shell and Ca fills the 4s shell thus Ca is more stable and less reactive
What else can I help you with?
What position is aluminium in the reactive series?
Aluminium is in the middle of the reactivity series of metals. It is more reactive than copper, silver, and gold, but less reactive than sodium, potassium, and calcium.
Is zinc less reactive with potassium based from activity series of metals?
Yes, zinc is LESS reactive than potassium based on the activity series.
What element is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less ractive than pottassium?
Sodium is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less reactive than potassium.
What happens when copper metal reacts with potassium cyanide?
Copper metal is less reactive than potassium so it will not react with potassium cyanide.
Name an alkali metal that is more reactive than K Na or Li Name an alkali metal that is less reactive?
Hydrogen (H) is more reactive. Francium (Fr) is less reactive.
What is more reactive calcium or more reactive?
Calcium is more reactive but not as Potassium or Sodium because according to the displacement series Calcium comes as third and the last under the reactive elements of the displacement series.
What position is aluminium in the reactive series?
Aluminium is in the middle of the reactivity series of metals. It is more reactive than copper, silver, and gold, but less reactive than sodium, potassium, and calcium.
What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
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.
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 are the Metals more reactive than hydrogen?
sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, tin and led are metals more reactive than hydrogen.
Is calcium sulfide more or less reactive to aluminum?
Chemistry of calcium Calcium is generally more reactive than magnesium
Is zinc less reactive with potassium based from activity series of metals?
Yes, zinc is LESS reactive than potassium based on the activity series.
What would be most reactive toward fluorine K Ca Sc Co?
Fluorine would be most reactive towards potassium (K) because potassium is a highly reactive alkali metal that readily donates its outer electron to form a stable ion. scandium (Sc), cobalt (Co), and calcium (Ca) are less reactive than potassium and would not react as vigorously with fluorine.
What element is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less ractive than pottassium?
Sodium is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less reactive than potassium.
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.
The most reactive metal among the following is 1magnesium 2 potassium 3 silver 4 gold?
Potassium is the most reactive metal among the ones listed. It reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming potassium hydroxide. Magnesium is less reactive than potassium, while silver and gold are much less reactive and are considered noble metals.
