Answer:

  • Two more reactive metals= K and Na
  • Three less reactive metals = Al , Zn and Fe

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to state two metals that are more reactive than Magnesium and three metals which are less reactive than Magnesium using the Reactivity series .

The Reactivity series goes like ,

K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Ni > Sb > Pb > H > Cu > Hg > Ag > Au > Pt

So from this we see that , Pottasium (K) , Sodium (Na) and Calcium (Ca) are more reactive than Magnesium and Aluminium (Al) , Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) are less reactive than Magnesium .

So that ,

→ Two more reactive metals= K and Na

→ Three less reactive metals = Al , Zn and Fe

I hope this helps .
