Are you sure that you have a precise definition in your mind for "more reactive", Michael? It is obviously important when you ask for the answer to a question that you at least understand the question you asked. Zinc is more reactive than copper. What experiment do you have to do?

It should be zinc. Refer to the electronegativity table.
