Question
If A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K represent metals in the decreasing order of their reactivity, which one of them is most likely to occur in a free state in nature?
Advertisements
Solution
The metal K is most likely to occur in a free state in nature because it is the least reactive among other metals. Since it is the least reactive, it will not react with other elements.
