Actually, like human nature is dominant of on another. In the same way, metals and non-metals are also dominant over one another. The metals and non-metals have a tendency of displacing another metal or non-metal from its salt solution or any other compound. According to this property of theirs, they are classified as more or less reactive.

The reactivity of elements can be deduced from the reactivity series. For example, sodium is "higher" than zinc in the reactivity series, hence sodium is more reactive than zinc. The reactivity of elements are also linked to their positions in the Periodic Table. For example, in group I (alkali metals), the reactivity increases down the group. On the other hand, for group VII (halogens), the reactivity decreases down the group.
