If an element has a total of 86 electrons is it inert reactive or non reactive?

This is radon, it has a full outer shell of electrons, so it is technically non reactive


Why is plutonium so reactive?

Because plutonium has an affinity for electrons.


Does two valence electrons is a reactive or non reactive?

The outer shell of an atom is most stable or non reactive with 8 electrons. 1 or 2 valence electrons would be reactive. It also would depend if it's bonded with another element.


Why are oxygen and potassium reactive?

Oxygen can gain two electrons. Potassium form cation by loosing an electron. So they are reactive.


What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?

The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.


Is xenon more or less reactive than bromine why?

Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.


Why is'nt nitrogen reactive?

Nitrogen is reactive. But not very reactive because of the amount of electrons it has.


Are valence electrons the reactive parts of an atom?

reactive parts of an electron?


Is aluminium reactive with other elements?

Yes, aluminum is reactive with other elements. Being a metal, it likes to give its outer electrons away to have an empty outer electron shell, and being in the 3A column, it has 3 electrons to give away, so it is quite reactive.


What are extremely reactive electrons?

Apples.


Why is xenon less reactive then bromine?

Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.


Is a nitrogen reactive or stable?

Nitrogen is reactive because it does not have 8 valence electrons.
