Exploring Reactivity and Periodicity Lab

So in chmistry class we did a lab and the Question was Is reactivity a periodic property?

So the elements and things we used we're Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper, Calcium, and Phenomenological.

So in this lab we got some water in two beakers and three test tubes. We put Sodium and Potassium in the beakers. When Sodium was added the reactivity was sudden and it ran on top of the water. The Potassium in other hand burst into a flame .

In the other three beakers we put Calcium, Magnesium, and Copper. Calcium had turned the water pink and then gassed up. Magnesium turned the water foggy and then the piece of Magnesium had turned pink. Copper ad only turned foggy.

So because the periodic table is periodic we can see a pattern with the elements in reactivity from up to down and left to right in decreasing order. So like Potassium was more reactive than Calcium because the potassium showed more reactivity than Calcium. So like Potassium is is lower than Calcium in the periodic table you can see the pattern. You can also see that Potassium, Sodium, and Copper are in the same row. And you can see by my evidence that Potassium is more reactive than Sodium and that Sodium is more reactive than copper, thus showing the pattern.

So then the answer my group and I came up is that: Yes, reactivity is a periodic property.
