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 happens to the reactivity nonmetals as you move down a period?
The reactivity is increasing, from left to right - for example halogens.
What happens to the reactivity of left to right across the periodic table?
Across a period, as we move from left to right, the electronegativity increases in the periodic table.
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 happens to non metals across the periodic table?
Moving from left to right across a period, up to but not including the noble gases (group 18), reactivity increases. Moving down a group, the reactivity of the elements decreases. Fluorine is the most reactive element.
Where would an element with a low boiling point and low reactivity be located on the periodic table?
Far right in group 18, the noble gases
How does the reactivity of each group of metals change across the table from the right?
Reactivity of metals decreases from left to right in the specific period of theperiodic table.
How does the reactivity of each group of metal of change across the table from left to right?
Reactivity of metals decreases from left to right in the specific period of theperiodic table.
How does the reactivity of each group of metals change across the table from right to left?
Reactivity of metals decreases from left to right in the specific period of theperiodic table.
How does the reactivity of each group of metals change across the table left to right?
Reactivity of metals decreases from left to right in the specific period of theperiodic table.
What happens to the reactivity nonmetals as you move down a period?
The reactivity is increasing, from left to right - for example halogens.
What is the periodic trend for reactivity of metals?
Metals Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.Non-metals Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period.Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group. Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron.
What happens to the reactivity of metals from left or right across the periodic table?
Reactivity decreases from left to right.Alkali metals on the left are most reactive.While noble gases on the right are least reactive.
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.
What happens to the reactivity of elements in groups as the atomic numbers increase across a 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.
What happens to reactivity of the element as you go left to right?
Insufficient information to answer; you would need to include the reaction
What happens to reactivity of elements in groups labeled a as atomic numbers increase across a 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.
What happens to the reactivity of left to right across the periodic table?
Across a period, as we move from left to right, the electronegativity increases in the periodic table.
