Q. $s$-block elements are reactive metals. As we go down the group, the reactivity.

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

$s$-block elements are reactive metals because they lose the outermost electrons readily to form $+1$ or $+2$ ion. The reactivity increases as we go down the group because ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group.
