Question

why is sodium is more reactive metal not give me ans by Google​

Answer 1

Answer:

the reactivity series allows us to predict how metals will react. A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from a compound.

Answer 2

$\LARGE\underline{\sf{\red{Required\:answer:-}}}$

Metals can lose their valence electrons easily and forms positively charged ions (or) cations. Valence electrons determine most of the properties of elements .More reactive metals tend to lose electrons. Sodium has 11 electrons and configuration of sodium can be written as 2 , 8 , 1. The valence electrons in sodium are 1. Sodium tries to lose this 1 valence electron to attain stability.

Moreover the Atomic radius of sodium is compartively larger. More the atomic radius , the more will be the distance between the nucleus and electrons and the less will be the attraction between nucleus and electrons Hence , due to less attraction between the electrons and nucleus the electrons can be removed easily. Sodium is an alkali metal belonging to IA group in periodic table. Generally Alkali metals are more reactive.
