the more vigorous its reactions are the more easily it loses electrons in reactions to form positive ions (cations) The table summarises some reactions of metals in the reactivity series.

This is because Group 1 metals are very reactive. The specific arrangement ... Using the periodic trend of group 1 elements, can you predict how a small piece of potassium (K) will react when ...
