How does the reactivity of the atoms in the periodic table change as you go from top to bottom?

As I understand it scientists took an educated guess at the Hydrogen Atom and all the rest were extrapolated from there.

Why do atoms explode?
Reactivity among the periodic table.
Where is the largest atoms are found where on the periodic table?
The largest atoms on the periodic table are the heavier alkali metals.
Are the heaviest atoms found at the bottom of the periodic table?
yes
What happens to the reactivity of a nonmetal when you move from left to right in a group?
The reactivity of a non metal decreases as you move down a group. This is because the size of the atomic radius increases and when the distance to the nucleus increases, the force of attraction decreases. Electrons are not pulled as strongly to larger atoms, and so larger atoms are not as reactive.
What increases in the periodic table?
From left to right, then top to bottom we have increasing numbers of protons (and in whole atoms also electrons).
Why do atoms explode?
Reactivity among the periodic table.
What are periods for periodic tables?
a Periodic Table organises the different elements, according to the atoms' mass, type, properties, reactivity etc. See the question about: periodic table patterns
Where is the largest atoms are found where on the periodic table?
The largest atoms on the periodic table are the heavier alkali metals.
Are the heaviest atoms found at the bottom of the periodic table?
yes
Which elements on the periodic table have the lowest electronegativity?
Atoms to the left on the periodic table Atoms with a large atomic radius
What do you use the periodic table for?
we use the periodic table because it helps us with the atoms and electrons it tells us the mass number atomic number and the symbol
Most atoms become less reactive after a change to a total number of what?
A change in the amount of electrons will decrease it's reactivity.
What is responsible for an atoms reactivity?
the electron
What happens to the reactivity of a nonmetal when you move from left to right in a group?
The reactivity of a non metal decreases as you move down a group. This is because the size of the atomic radius increases and when the distance to the nucleus increases, the force of attraction decreases. Electrons are not pulled as strongly to larger atoms, and so larger atoms are not as reactive.
How do you use Reactivity in a sentence?
A atoms reactivity is the certainty to transfer or share electrons forming a chemical bond.
What increases in the periodic table?
From left to right, then top to bottom we have increasing numbers of protons (and in whole atoms also electrons).
What periodic chemistry?
A periodic chemistry is a Periodic Table. A periodic table is a tab,e with atoms and elements. Whatever we eat or use have atoms or elements.
