Yes, potassium is more reactive than lithium, since although they both need to lose one electron to have full outer shells, potassium's outer electron is furthest from the positive attractions of the nucleus. Therefore, it is easier for potassium to lose its outer electron than it is for lithium.

What element is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less ractive than pottassium?
Sodium is more reactive than lithium and magnesium but less reactive than potassium.
Is magnesium more reactive than lithium?
No, lithium is more reactive than magnesium because it has a higher tendency to lose electrons. Magnesium reacts slowly with water, whereas lithium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas.
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
more reactive than copper. In a displacement reaction, the more reactive element will displace the less reactive element from its compound. Zinc has a higher reactivity than copper on the reactivity series of metals, allowing it to displace copper in the reaction.
Is copper more reactive than gold?
Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
Is lithium or Neon more reactive?
Lithium is more reactive than neon. Reactivity in elements is determined by the ease with which they lose or gain electrons. Lithium, with its single valence electron, readily donates this electron to form a positive ion, whereas neon, with a full valence shell, is inert and does not easily participate in chemical reactions. Therefore, lithium exhibits much higher reactivity compared to neon.
