Question

1. which is the most reactive metal in the periodic table? explain. would you expect this metal to be found in its unreacted elemental form? explain.

Explanation:

The most reactive metal is francium. Reactivity of metals increases down a group and towards the left in the periodic table. Francium is in Group 1 (alkali - metals) and towards the bottom. Due to its high reactivity, it would not be found in its unreacted elemental form in nature as it readily reacts with other substances.

Answer:

The most reactive metal is francium. It would not be found in its unreacted elemental form because of its high reactivity.
