The reactivity of an atom is due to its number and arrangement of __________ in the outer energy level (or orbit). your question was confusing but I was able to interperet it. the answer is Electrons
How does the reactivity of an atom with an atomic number of 10 compare to the reactivity of an atom with an atomic number of 5?
Boron (atomic number 5) is more reactive than neon (atomic number 10).
What is the difference between the atomic number and the valence number of an atom?
Describe the reactivity of halogens
Is helium considered a complete atom with the least reactivity of the elements on the periodic table?
true
What can you tell about an atom that has high electronegativity?
For metals high electronegativity mean low reactivity; for halogens, C, O, N, S, etc. the meaning is high reactivity.
