Your thinking is right, but can you differentiate these metals a bit more?

sleepyjess · Answer

I know that Mn is slightly less reactive than Al and K is much more reactive.

anonymous · Answer

Sure, so what can we conclude then?

anonymous · Answer

Look up these elements a bit more, I think you're on the right track, look at the option that is different from the others.

sleepyjess · Answer

I am almost positive it is Mn now.

sleepyjess · Answer

Looking at the notes more, now I am thinking K....

anonymous · Answer
