<h3>Answer:</h3>

             The reactivity of an alkali metal depends on the metals ability to <u>loose an electron</u>.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         Alkali metals are elements present in first group of the periodic table. Following are the metals from top to bottom;

                                               Lithium

                                               Sodium

                                               Potassium

                                               Rubidium

                                               Cesium

                                               Francium

These s-block elements are considered the most reactive metals in the periodic table because they have only one electron in their valence shell and readily loose that electron to form an ionic bond with non metal. The general electronic configuration of these metals is as follow,

                                                       nS¹

Also, the reactivity of these metals increases from top to bottom in the group as the ionization energy decreases due to increase in shielding effect respectively.

What additional tests would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen?
Gemiola [76]
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.
