self explanatory question, electric guitar, Ibanez rg370dx, is it good for playing heavy metal on?
Both answers are pretty much right. If you look at a reactivity series, you can see which metals are most reactive. However, you can also look at the periodic table and predict based on its structure. Group 1 would be the most reactive metals, (alkali metals) because they have 1 valence electron. They are so eager to give up that 1 valence electron to another atom to gain a full octet. Group 2 are reactive metals but less reactive because they need to give up 2 electrons. You can see a trend. As you move across the periodic table, the reactivity of the metals DECREASES. This makes sense because eventually you hit the nonmetals at the right side of the periodic table, which have no metallic properties at all.
just look at the REACTIVITY SERIES.. The reactivity series is sometimes quoted in the strict reverse order of standard electrode potentials, when it is also known as the electrochemical series: Li > K > Sr > Ca > Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Cr > Fe > Cd > Co > Ni > Sn > Pb > H > Cu > Ag > Hg > Pt > Au -ion with higher reactivity displaces ion with lower reactivity. ^_^
It depends on basic knowledge you study on the lesson about the periodic table. IN GROUP 1 elements as you go down the elements the reactivity of the element increases. Example: Lithium (Li) is less reactive but Francium is highly reactive. So, study about the periodic table then you can identify metal reactivity.
