Question

What is more reactive beryllium or rubidium and why

Answer 1

Answer:

Rubidium is more reactive than beryllium.

Explanation:

Rubidium is more reactive than beryllium because the rate of reactivity in the metals depends on its electropositivity and the electropositivity increases down the group.

Since beryllium lies in 2nd period and rubidium lies in the 5th period, rubidium can easily lose its single electron to attain the octane stage.
