First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

Are s blocks metals ?
Mamont248 [21]
Yes, S-blocks are metals except for helium and hydrogen.  The S-block metals are shiny, silvery and relatively soft, although they can easily lose electrons.  Helium and hydrogen have valence electrons but also lack some similar properties as the other metals.
