Answer to Question #71509 in Chemistry for Rose

Question

between Cs.Mg, Cu, Ge, N, S, F which one of them is the least reactive

Answer 1

When one gets a look at the Periodic Table of elements, one can notice that Cs, Ge, N, S and F are situated on the reactive diagonal (left bottom – top right corners). Mg is also known as a rather reactive element.

Copper Cu is the least reactive element, as it is the one of d-elements, transition metals. Transition elements are generally considered as less reactive than the alkali metals.
