Answer:
- ➫ When metals react, they lose electrons to form positive ions. Such metals which can lose electrons easily to form positive ions when reacted with other substances, are reactive metals.
- ➫ On the other hand, if a metal loses electrons less rapidly to form positive ions, it will react slowly with other substances. Such a metal will be less reactive. For example, sodium atom is a very reactive metal because it readily loses one electron, forms a positive ion which then combines with other substances. On the other hand, lead atom loses electrons with difficulty to form positive ions, so lead metal is less reactive.
