Which element is more active between potassium and sodium ?

Answer: Therefore, potassium has an additional shell of electrons and thus 8 more electrons. This extra shell of electrons shields the attractive force exerted on the outer electron by the nucleus. As a result, less energy is required to remove the outer electron of potassium and so it is more reactive.​
