The electronegativity of oxygen is much higher than that of polonium, even though their valence electron configurations are superficially the same, because an oxygen atom is much smaller than a polonium atom, so that accepted additional electrons are much closer to the electrically attractive nucleus of an oxygen atom than of a polonium atom.

What is more reactive oxygen or selenium?
Oxygen. Oxygen is a gas making it react faster, while sulfur is a solid.
Are magnesium and calcium more reactive with oxygen in the air than is aluminum?
calcium and mg are more reactive
Which elements are more reactive with oxygen group 1 or group 11?
Group 1, the alkali metals, are much more reactive with oxygen than Group 11, the coinage metals.
What is more reactive CO2 or CO?
CO is more reactive than CO2. This is because CO has a single bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which makes the oxygen more readily available for reactions. CO2, on the other hand, has double bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making it less reactive.
Is oxygen the most reactive gas?
No, oxygen is not the most reactive gas. On the periodic table, the reactivity of gases is symbolized in the periods, or horizontal rows, and the families, or vertical rows. Family number Eighteen is the inert gas family. Their reactivity is slight and even none at all. This means that the gases near the left side of the periodic table are more reactive.
Which is more reactive polonium or plutonium?
Comparing the Pauling electronegativities plutonium is more chemically reactive.
Is nitrogen more reactive than oxygen?
No, oxygen is the more reactive element!
What is more reactive oxygen or selenium?
Oxygen. Oxygen is a gas making it react faster, while sulfur is a solid.
Which is more reactive in oxygen silver or zinc?
no its not.
Are magnesium and calcium more reactive with oxygen in the air than is aluminum?
calcium and mg are more reactive
Why fluorine is more reactive than oxygen?
No, fluorine is the most reactive element that exists.
Is oxygen more reactive than sulfur?
yes
Is argon or magnesium more reactive with oxygen?
Argon is a Non-Reactive Element. Magnesium is a very Reactive Element. Magnesium will react violently when ignited in an Oxygen rich environment.
Which is reactive cesium or francium?
In reaction with water and oxygen Fr is more reactive than Cs
Which elements are more reactive with oxygen group 1 or group 11?
Group 1, the alkali metals, are much more reactive with oxygen than Group 11, the coinage metals.
How reactive is actinium compared to others in its group?
Having a Pauling electronegativity of 1,1 actinium is more reactive than other actinoids.
Why iodine is less reactive than bromine?
Bromine has more nuclear charge as compared to iodine. So, bromine easily attracts an electron and hence more reactive.
