Reactivity Series: Comparing the Reactivity of Group 1 and Group 2 Metals

The video tutorial explores the reactivity of four metals: sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. It demonstrates experiments to compare their reactivity using water and hydrochloric acid. The tutorial explains atomic structure, focusing on electron shells and metallic bonds, and discusses reactivity trends in the periodic table. It highlights that Group 1 metals are more reactive than Group 2 metals, and reactivity increases down the groups. Practical applications of reactivity, such as tin electroplating in food cans, are also covered.
