What makes an atom reactive?
since an atom wants to gain stability by achieving the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas it has to have 8 electrons in the valence shell so it becomes reactie to gain stability
What is the most highly active atom in the nuclear atom system?
If you are looking for the most chemically reactive atom or element, it is fluorine. As regards which atom is the most active in its nucleus, there are a lot of very unstable radioactive atomic nuclei. Some are so unstable that they can only exist for a small fraction of a second, or, more properly, have an extremely short half-life.
Smallest unit of organization?
sub-atomic particle: which makes up an atom: which makes up molecules: which makes up DNA: which make up organelles (cell parts): which makes up cells: which makes up tissues: which makes up organs: which makes up organ systems: which makes up organisms.
What is an object that is the type of matter that makes up the object and the way that the matter is arranged?
an atom
Can electrons collide with each other?
They can and they do, when outside an atom. Within an atom, it does not happen because each electron is within a very specific orbital that makes collisions impossible.

Is a beryllium atom reactive or non reactive?
reactive
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.
Is 288 is unstable or reactive atom?
no
Is an ion or atom more reactive?
Anything that is unstable is more reactive, and anything that is stable is less reactive. Since a charged ion requires energy to maintain its charge, it is LESS stable and thus MORE reactive.
Are having eight valence electrons makes atoms very reactive?
No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.
Why is a Cl atom a reactive element but Ar is not reactive?
I dont think i am sure about that
What numbers are an unstable or reactive atom?
The numbers listed represent the first, second and third energy levels, respectively. On this basis, which of the following is an unstable or reactive atom? 2, 8, 1
Is 2 an reactive atom?
RAW and ISS
What determines if an atom is inert or reactive?
Where its located.
Would carbon or fluorine atom be more reactive?
Fluorine would be more reactive. Fluorine is the most reactive element.
