9
Q
Reactivity order
Start with the lowest
A
Lithium Sodium Potassium Rubidium Caesium Francium
10
Q
Why does the reactivity increase as you move down the group
A
Because the elements electron shells increase which show it is unstable
Therefore more reactive

A
Decreases
12
Q
Why are they stored underneath oil
A
Very reactive with oxygen and other elements
