which metal would be the most reactive Ba, Mg or Ca, and why?
Answers
Answer:
These metals are less reactive than the neighbouring alkali metal. Magnesium is less active than sodium; calcium is less active than potassium; and so on. These metals become more active as we go down the column.
Explanation:
Magnesium is more active than beryllium; calcium is more active than magnesium; and so on.
Answer:
Not to be confused with Electrochemical series.
In chemistry, a reactivity series (or activity series) is an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression[1] of a series of metals, arranged by their "reactivity" from highest to lowest.[2][3][4] It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water, double displacement reactions and the extraction of metals from their ores.
