Question

Is beryllium more reactive than lithium?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

lithium is more reactive than beryllium

Lithium is alkali metal with valency 1 and it is group 1 element due to which it can easily release its electron to form the stable cation while the beryllium is group 2 element or alkaline earth metal with a valency 2 so as it needs to lose two electrons to form the stable cation and hence it will require more energy to react so lithium is more reactive than beryllium.
