Question

why is sodium is more reactive then potassium​

Answer 1

Answer:Sodium is less reactive than potassium because the atomic size of sodium is smaller than potassium. Hence, sodium has more greater electrostatic force of attraction between it's electrons and nucleus.So it less readily loses electrons than potassium

Explanation:

Answer 2

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 ionic form more readily than sodium. Hence, potassium is more reactive than sodium...
