Hot take: Reactivity just does what it wants. But really, check the trends鈥攖hey're your best friends!
From my chem class days, I remember that metals get more reactive as you go down, but non-metals get more reactive as you go up. Made lab experiments super interesting!
Downwards for metals, upwards for non-metals. Easy peasy!
In the periodic table, reactivity increases down a group for metals and up a group for non-metals. Happy reacting!
