Reactivity is a term related to the aggressiveness (or not) of an element to combine with other elements. Oxygen, Chlorine, and Fluorine are among the most aggressive.

ReactivityThe ease and speed with which an element combines with other elements and compounds is called the "reactivity" of the element.


How does atomic mass indicated element reactivity?

There is no good correlation lies between the element reactivity and the atomic mass.

^.^


Is it impossible for an element to replace atoms of anothe element in a compound?

No. In a displacement reaction, that is exactly what happens. If an element low down in the reactivity series is in a compound, and you add an element that is higher placed in the reactivity series. The more reactive element will displace the less reactive element in the compound.Example:Copper Sulphate - Copper is low in the reactivity series and is in a compoundSodium + Copper Sulphate - Sodium is higher in the reactivity series than copper, and is in it's pure elemental form.Copper + Sodium Sulphate - The Sodium that is higher in the reactivity series has switched places with the Copper, which is lower in the reactivity series.FULL EQUATION:Sodium + Copper Sulphate --> Copper + Sodium Sulphate

Ability of a substance to react chemically?

reactivity, the tendency of an element to react with another substance is know n as its reactivity. the more the capacity of an element to react with another substance the more will be its reactivity, the series of elements arranged in their decreasing reactivity is known as reactivity series.


Which element can displace other elements from the compounds?

An Element higher in the Reactivity Series will displace an Element lower in the Reactivity Series in a compound. Example. Potassium + Zinc Sulphate --> Potassium Sulphate + Zinc

Aluminium is an element, and because of its reactivity is never found as a native element.


If you find an element in nature in its pure elemental state what can you infer about the element's chemical reactivity?

It has low to no reactivity because if it was reactive, then it would bond (react) with another element.
