Reactivity in group 1 of elements increases as we go down the group (to francium) because in the alkali metals as we go down the group number of atomic shells increases so the elements with most shells will easily release their electrons in the outer most shell.

Down the group, the reactivity increases as the atomic size becomes larger and ionisation potential decreases.

What is the pattern of reactivity observed in the non-metal elements in groups 13-17 of the periodic table?

Reactivity of non-metals increases as you move from left to right on the periodic table, or as group number increases. The most reactive non-metals are found in group 17.


What are some good questions about the periodic table?

Some good questions about periodic table: where are metalloids placed? why group 18 elements are inactive? How many groups and periods are in periodic table? How reactivity changes across and down the group?


What happens as you move down the family on a periodic table the reactivity?

the reactivity of metals increases as you go down a group in the periodic table. also elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same electronic configuration,i.e.they have the same arrangement of electrons


What happens to the reactivity of non metals if you move from left to righton the periodic table?

in general they become more reactive.


What periodic trends of reactivity occur with the alkali metals?

Is selenium reactive?

yes, it is a non metal and it is placed on the right side of the Periodic Table, reactivity increases from left to right on the periodic table. since selenium is in group 16 out of 18 groups, it is a very reactive element. hope this helps you!


What is a group in a periodic table.?

A group in Periodic Table is the column of element in periodic table


What happens to the reactivity of elements in a group labeled A as atomic numbers increase across period?

they become more reactive since you are moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements in group 17 are the most reactive.
