Chemical reactions require what is known as an "activation energy" to get started; if the reaction is exothermic, it may produce enough energy that it becomes self-sustaining. At lower temperatures there is less energy available, and so atoms are less likely to engage in chemical reactions.

All substances are SOLID at very low temperatures....
How likely an atom is to react?
an atom is very likely to recat as it consists of two nuclears one aton morinal and the second continal atom. these two react with sulphuric acid along with H2
Why do nitrogen in air not react with other elements?
Nitrogen is not a reactive element at low temperatures.
How would a atom react with a low ionization energy?
It would not take a great deal of electronegativity to pull at least the first electron off this atom.

Can F2 readily react with Au?
No, not readily, but it will react at high temperatures
What happens to an atom at high temperatures?

How does argon react?
Argon is a noble gas, and very non-reactive. Argon fluorohydride, HArF has been synthesized, but is only stable at very low temperatures.
What is formed when a sodium atom and a chlorine atom react chemically?
study
What is formed when a sodium atom and chlorine atom react chemically?
study
When will an atom react with another atom?
Two atoms will react if in so doing both will obtain completely filled outer shells.
Describe the type of electron configuration that makes an atom stable and not likely to react?
When the highest occupied energy level of an atom is filled with electrons, the atom is stable and not likely to react.
