Question
Out of aluminium, copper, calcium and tin, the most reactive metal is:
Options
aluminium
copper
tin
calcium
Advertisements
Solution
Calcium
Explanation:
Calcium is the most reactive because it belongs to the alkaline earth metals group and occupies the highest position in the reactivity series among the given choices, meaning it loses electrons much more readily than aluminium, tin, and copper.
