Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Metals And Reactivity (Section 1 - No. 28)
What is the main reason for the high reactivity of metals?
Their ability to form positive ions by losing electrons.
Their ability to form negative ions by gaining electrons.
Their high melting points.
Their low density.
Explanation
Metals readily lose electrons to form positive ions, which is the basis of their reactivity.
