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.
Electrons are the subatomic particles that make an element reactive. Elements react with one another by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to attain a more stable electron configuration.
This is known as a single displacement or substitution reaction. In this type of reaction, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its compound, causing a rearrangement of atoms and the formation of a new compound.
Elements with higher reactivity are less likely to exist in an uncombined form because they readily form compounds with other elements due to their tendency to gain or lose electrons. In contrast, less reactive elements are more stable and are often found in their uncombined form in nature.
Lee Barrage invented the Lee-Barrage process, which involves the extraction of lithium from salt brines using a selective precipitation method. This invention has applications in the lithium mining industry for more efficient lithium extraction.
Argon is an insulator and it is also becoming more popular as in insulator used in windows!
Sodium is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less reactive than potassium.
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.
No, lithium is more reactive than magnesium because it has a higher tendency to lose electrons. Magnesium reacts slowly with water, whereas lithium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas.
Lithium is more reactive.

Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
Magnesium and lithium are both metals with different properties and uses. Magnesium is lighter and more reactive than lithium. Magnesium is commonly used in alloys for making lightweight materials, while lithium is used in batteries for electronic devices.
Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.
Reactivity of any metal depends on its capacity to loose electrons as quickly as possible. Among Lithium, Copper and tungsten, lithium is the most reactive since it looses electrons very quickly and forms its cation. In fact, it is among the most reactive metals.
Sodium is less active than magnesium. Magnesium is located higher in the reactivity series of metals than sodium, indicating that magnesium is more reactive and likely to form compounds with other elements compared to sodium.
Lead does not react with:Compounds of metals more reactive than itself, e.g. magnesium oxide.Water.Sulfuric acid (because there is a protective layer of lead oxide on the surface).
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.
