Explain why is sodium less reactive than potassium
Answered by admin @
Sodium is less reactive than potassium because the atomic size of sodium is smaller than potassium. Hence, sodium has more greater electrostatic force of attraction between it's electrons and nucleus.So it less readily loses electrons than potassium.
