The values are unknown, so whether soduim or potassium, it doesn't matter. what matters is increasing reactivity
The most reactive one reacts with chlorine
so d answer is option A which is V
Metals that are very reactive (like V, W) cannot be extracted by heating with carbon or other simple methods.
Instead, very reactive metals need to be extracted using electrolysis of their fused (molten) chlorides.
Less reactive metals (like Y or Z) can be extracted more easily using chemical reduction methods.
It’s too reactive to be extracted by traditional chemical methods.
Electrolysis is the only method strong enough to break the bonds in very reactive metal compounds.
I dont think this answer is correct,it should be W,V is Potassium,and V should be Sodium in the electrochemical series
