Question

why is potassium more reactive than sodium

Answer 1

Answer:

POTTASIUM HAS ONE EXTRA ELECTRON THAN SODIUM IN ITS NUCLEUS .

SO K IS MORE REACTIVE THAN Na

Answer 2

K is more reactive than na Thus, in potassium, the outermost electron is better shielded from the attractive force of the nucleus. It follows, therefore, that this outermost electron is more easily lost than it is in sodium, so potassium can be converted to an ionic form more readily than sodium. Hence, potassium is more reactive than sodium
