Where on the periodic table are element most likely to react with other elements which direction?
The most reactive elements are alkali metals and halogens.
An element that is a very reactive gas is most likely a member of the what?
Chlorine is the most reactive gas element. Chlorine is in the halogen family.
What can less reactive metals be found as?
Less reactive elements are more likely to be found uncombined, that is as the element rather than as part of a compound. This is usually called being 'found native'. For instance gold mines contain actual pieces of gold, whereas an iron mine usually contains something like rust, which has to be converted by a chemical reaction to obtain the metal.
Is silver more reactive than gold?
The investigator will discover that potassium (K) is much more reactive than silver (Ag). Silver is a transition metal (d block elements) while potassium is an alkali metal. The alkali metals are in Group 1 of the periodic table, and elements on the left side (and going down) are quite a bit more reactive than those in the middle, where silver is. It turns out that potassium has a lone valence electron, and this element want to loan that electron out in a chemical bond very badly. That makes potassium much more likely to form a chemical bond than silver, and makes it more reactive.
Which elements are not likely to bond with other elements?
Helium, neon and argon are the least likely elements to form compounds.
Which elements are most likely to react with other elements?
The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.
Where on the periodic table are element most likely to react with other elements which direction?
The most reactive elements are alkali metals and halogens.
Is a group in the periodic table more reactive near the top or the bottom?
Francium and Flourine are the most reactive elements. Francium is at the bottom, Flourine is at the top. The trend isn't as simple as your question. Elements towards the top of the table "want" electrons more. This means they are less likely to give them up and more likely to "steal." In terms of reactivity, this means that the metals at the top are less reactive and the non-metals at the top are more reactive.
Does selenium blow up with chlorine?
It doesn't seem likely. Selenium isn't terribly reactive, and selenium monochloride exists in equilibrium with a different kind of selenium chloride, chlorine gas, and elemental selenium; this indicates that there's not a huge energy difference between the uncombined elements and the compound, as you would expect there to be if they "blew up" when combined.
Which elements are more likely to react with other elements?
The alkali metals like sodium,pottasium etc.are very much reactive.Francium is so far the most reactive alkali metals.
Why silver and gold is on their own rocks but calcium and magnesium is combined with other elements?
differences in chemical reactivity, the more reactive the more likely to form compounds
Why are you more likely to use compounds of the alkali metals and halogens rather than the elements themselves?
These elements in pure form are extremely reactive. It is hard to create and maintain the pure environment necessary to maintain their purity.
An element that is a very reactive gas is most likely a member of the what?
Chlorine is the most reactive gas element. Chlorine is in the halogen family.
What elements are more likely to react with other elements those on the far left or on the far right of the periodic table?
Far left. Depends on what you mean by far right. If you mean the halogens - fluorine, chlorine then they are also very reactive like the alkali metals on the far left - lithium, sodium, potassium etc. One big difference is the alkali metals get more reactive as they get bigger and the halogens are more reactive as they get smaller.
What element is malleable shiny and conducts electricity would mostly likely be?
The three most general elemental groups are nonmetals, semimetals, and metals. The characteristics you've described fit the "metals" group of elements.
What halogen is most likely to react?
The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group, which means Fluorine is the most reactive halogens as it is the most electronegative elements among the halogens, and also the Periodic Table.
Are hydrogen and neon likely to bond?
No, they are not likely to bond. Neon has a complete octet and is not reactive.
