Question

What can you conclude about the reactivity of metals as you move down a column or group in the periodic table.

Answer 1

Reactivity increases down the group

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because metals reaction involves loss of an electron from an occupied orbital.

As we go down the group the relative nuclear charge decreases due to an additional orbit leading to ease in loss of an electron

Due to ease in loss of electrons down the group metals become more reactive down the group
