    Default Science Homework

    We've been told to do a reactivity series with gold, cobalt, einsteinium, rubidium, sodium, unununium - and we only the clue of 'look on the net' , I found nothing after 20 minutes and well, I thought I'd ask you guys - because your so clever and handsome... well 20% of you are .

    P.S any links or help is appreciated, I don't want the work to be done for me (would be nice, though)

    lol seems obvious but is this any help? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series
    look up the periodic table and find the symbol? i honestly cant remember what the reactivity series is

    also, is it not like, the further down the periodic table you go, the more reactive it gets?

    I don't think it is anymore, 'cos Frankcium is at the bottom but Lead is too - and that barely reacts with anything.

    Thanks anyway, if I those links help - you can have a cookie.

    There's different groups, I think?
    Like Group 1 = Alkali metals, and they're the most reactive.
    Idk the middle groups, but I think Group 7 idk though, which is furthest right is the Noble Gasses, which are unreactive.
    Sorry, I'm not much help.

    middle are transition metals no?..

    Ah yes, that rings a bell. Group 1 are the most reactive, getting mroe reactive as they go down.
