The reactive metal that gives off an orange glow in streetlamps is sodium. When an electric current passes through sodium vapor inside the lamp, it becomes excited and emits light in the orange part of the spectrum. This phenomenon is known as sodium vapor lamp or sodium-vapor light. Sodium is chosen for its high efficiency in converting electrical energy into light, making it a popular choice for outdoor lighting.

What is the most reactive metal and nonmetal group in the periodic table?
caesium is the most reactive non-radioactive metal and Florine is the most reactive non-metal, but francium is the most reactive, radioactive metal
Steps on how to carry up a displacement reaction?
Start with a more reactive metal or element and a less reactive metal or element in solution or in contact with each other. The more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its solution or compound, resulting in a new compound containing the more reactive metal and a separate less reactive metal. The displacement reaction follows the activity series of metals, where more reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds.
What is an reactive nonmetal?
A reactive non metal is an element that can gain the electrons or is more electronegative
Where is the most reactive metal found?
Lithium is the most reactive metal found.
How does the reactivity of a metal affects displacement reactions?
The reactivity of a metal influences its ability to displace another metal in a displacement reaction. A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, a more reactive metal like zinc can displace copper from copper sulfate because zinc is more reactive than copper.
