What term describes the most reactive nonmetals that have seven valence electron?

halogens


What family is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms have 7 valence electrons?

The Halogens.


Do all nonmetals have a completelyfull Valence shell of electrons?

There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.


What if the following elements would you expect to be most reactive based on the number of valence electrons it has?

Elements that have one or two valence electrons are generally the most reactive. For example, alkali metals (like lithium, sodium, and potassium) have one valence electron, making them highly reactive as they tend to lose that electron easily. Similarly, alkaline earth metals (like magnesium and calcium) with two valence electrons are also quite reactive, as they readily lose both electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The reactivity decreases with increasing valence electrons, especially in nonmetals.


The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?

metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely


Which property is common to all halogens?

Halogens are all non-metals, they are all very reactive, and they are all colorful.


Is lithium family a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms have 7 valence electrons?

No, the lithium family is not a reactive group of mostly nonmetals with 7 valence electrons. The lithium family, also known as the alkali metals group, includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. These elements are metals and have 1 valence electron.


What will a non-metal do with its valence electrons?

Nonmetals attract electrons.


Why are electrons so reactive?

Electrons are no reactive by itself but they are important in chemical reactions - valence electrons.


Is unreactivity a property of metal?

No, because metals are on the left side of the Periodic Table. Therefore, they are reactive. Nonmetals, on the left side of the Periodic Table, are less reactive, because they have more valence electrons.


Does two valence electrons is a reactive or non reactive?

Two valence electrons make an atom chemically reactive because it wants to either gain or lose electrons to achieve a full valence shell. This makes it more likely to form bonds with other atoms to reach a stable electron configuration.
