M4 The Periodic Table: Group 1 & 2 metals
Slide 29 of 42
Reactivity Trend: Reason
Therefore, going Down  Group 1
 
EASIER to LOSE OUTER ELECTRON
So MORE  CHEMICALLY   REACTIVE
That is, it is easier for K to lose an electron than it is for Na. And it is easier for Na to lose an electron than it is for Li.
K is more reactive than Na. Na is more reactive than Li.
Reactivity increases going down the group of group 1 metals.
