Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.

Alkali metals react faster than alkaline earth metals due to their lower ionization energy and higher reactivity. Alkali metals readily lose their outermost electron to form a +1 cation, making them highly reactive with water and air. Alkaline earth metals, on the other hand, are less reactive as they have higher ionization energies and require more energy to lose their outer electron.

Do planets revolve faster or slower when they are close to the sun?
They move faster.
Do faster atoms have more potential energy than slower atoms?
faster atoms have more kinetic energy than slower atoms do.
What alkali metal reacts most slowly with water?
Among the alkali metals, lithium reacts most slowly with water. When lithium comes into contact with water, it forms lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Due to lithium's smaller size and lower reactivity compared to other alkali metals, the reaction occurs at a slower rate.
Are asteroids faster when closer to the Sun?

Which hair perming lotion is better for hair---acid or alkaline?
Acid. Alkaline waves processes faster without heat. Acid waves processes slower and are more gentle on the hair and leaves your hair in a better condition.

What is faster than a bird but slower than a snail?
nothing. that is impossible because if it is faster than a bird, then it isn't slower than a snail. and if it is slower than a snail, then it isn't faster than a bird.
Do ocean waves travel faster or slower than primary waves or secondary waves?
only faster not slower.
