Why is strontium more reactive than calcium but less reactive than rubidium?
1 answer:
Sr is below Ca and to the right of Rb in the Periodic Table (see the attached image).
Reactivity increases from <em>top to bottom of a Group</em>. Sr is below Ca, so it is <em>more reactive</em> than Ca.
Reactivity decreases from <em>left to right in a Period</em>. Sr is to the right of Rb, so it is <em>less reactive</em> than Rb.
