The most reactive metal among the following is?
The most reactive metals of the periodic table are those that belong to alkali group. Among this group, the more electrons contain each atom of each element, the more reactive it is. This is why Francium is the most reactive of alkali metals.
What amino acid molecule includes a central carbon atom bonded to a carboxyl group and a hydrogen atom?
An amino group and an R group
Why are all alkai metals highly reactive?
well basically they all have very unstable atoms and having unstable atoms. They also have only 1 outer electron and only then is an atom happy when it has a full outer shell.. This means that the alkali metals want to get rid of their extra electron and therefore means they would be very reactive with the group 7 metals. Hope this helps :D
Why is group 17 more reactive than group 16?
The elements of this group do not have a stable number of electrons. - - - - - Group 17, the halogens, are extremely reactive (the only non-reactive elements are in group 18, the noble gases, but group 17 elements are more reactive than other group elements) because of their high "effective nuclear charge." An atom wants to have eight electrons in its outer shell, whether it's because it naturally has that many like the group 18 elements do or because it bonded to other atoms and share electrons with them. The closer to eight an atom has on its own, the higher this charge is - which makes it more reactive. Group 17 atoms all have seven electrons in their outer shells, so they are on the hunt for anything they can possibly grab. For more entertainment, the fewer shells an atom has between its "helium layer" (that lil' shell right around the nucleus with two electrons in it) and the outer shell, the higher this effective nuclear charge is. Because fluorine only has two shells, its effective nuclear charge is as high as it can get...which is why fluorine will react with anything including glass.
Explain the role of an element's electrons in determining its chemical reactivity?
Electrons differ in the amount of energy they have and how tightly they are held by the protons in the nucleus. Based on these properties, chemists describe an atom's electrons as belonging to certain energy levels. Usually it is the electrons in the highest energy level of an atom that determine how that atom reacts.
If an atom in group 18 is placed near an atom of group 2 what will usually happen?
Nothing. Group II metals are reactive, but the group 18 or inert gases are not.
Would carbon or fluorine atom be more reactive?
Fluorine would be more reactive. Fluorine is the most reactive element.
Which atom would be more reactive a neutral F atom or an F- ion?
F
What determines the reactive properties of an atom?
the number of elements in the atom The group the element is in on the periodic table (how many valence electrons it has). Metals increase in reactivity from right to left on the periodic table and non metals increase in reactivity from left to right, with the exception of group group 18, which is not reactive, and Hydrogen, which is very reactive.
Is a beryllium atom reactive or non reactive?
reactive
Describes an atom that has a full outermost energy level?
If you're looking for a single word, my choice would be stable.Another term that could work if it's a neutral atom would be noble gas.
The most reactive metal among the following is?
The most reactive metals of the periodic table are those that belong to alkali group. Among this group, the more electrons contain each atom of each element, the more reactive it is. This is why Francium is the most reactive of alkali metals.
Why are atoms of bromine so reactive?
Bromine is quite reactive because it is highly electronegative. Electronegativity is a chemical property that measures the ability for an atom to gain electrons from another atom. Thus, the more electronegative an atom is, the more reactive it is. Generally speaking, as you move up a group and across a period on the periodic table, the electronegativity increases. Fluorine has the greatest electronegativity, while francium has the lowest.
Does two valence electrons is a reactive or non reactive?
The outer shell of an atom is most stable or non reactive with 8 electrons. 1 or 2 valence electrons would be reactive. It also would depend if it's bonded with another element.
Are valence electrons the reactive parts of an atom?
reactive parts of an electron?
What atom is more reactive francium or cesium?
Francium is more reactive.
Why is chlorine reactive?
Chlorine is located in group 17 in the Periodic Table, and can be easily stabilized by gaining one electron from another atom.
