Question

Explain why sodium is less reactive than potassium

Answer 1

Thus, in potassium, the outermost electron is better shielded from the attractive force of the nucleus. It follows, therefore, that this outermost electron is more easily lost than it is insodium, so potassium can be converted to ionic form more readilythan sodium. Hence, potassium ismore reactive than sodium.

Answer 2

hello dear
