Which is the most reactive metal?
- ASodium
- BPotassium
- CIron
- DCalcium
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Potassium
Explanation
In the reactivity series, metals are ranked by how readily they lose electrons; the topmost are most reactive.
The order here is Potassium (K) > Sodium (Na) > Calcium (Ca) > Iron (Fe), so potassium is the most reactive of the four.
Top metals are strong reducing agents that corrode and react vigorously, unlike less reactive iron.
