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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

It tends to increase. As you go down a group, the outer electron gets further away from the nucleus and is thus not held as tightly which makes it more available and thus reactive

Answer 3

reactivity decreases down the group in water but increases without water

Answer 4

In the case of metals, down the group, the reactivity increases. In the case of non-metals, the reactivity generally decreases.
