How does chemical reactivity change as you move down a column on the periodic table?

It tends to increase. As you go down a group, the outer electron gets further away from the nucleus and is thus not held as tightly which makes it more available and thus reactive.

Why do the elements in a column on the periodic table form a group?
The elements in a column on the periodic table form a group (or family) because they have similar physical and chemical properties.
What each vertical column in the periodic table knows as?
Each vertical column on the periodic table are called groups, they are also known as families because they have similar chemical properties to each other.
Which elements occupy the same group in the periodic table?
Elements that have similar chemical properties occupy the same group on the Periodic Table.
When looking at a periodic table of elements what do you know by knowing in which column an element appears?
Chemical elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Which element on the periodic table has the chemical properties that are the most similar to those of carbon?
Silicon, carbon's only neighbor within its periodic table column 14.
What is each column in the periodic table know as?
Each column is a group of chemical elements.
What is similar about elements in a periodic table column?
Chemical properties.
Where are the noble gases located on the periodic table and what does their position reveal about their reactivity?
the noble gases are positioned on the last column on the right. As the elements descend down the column they are more reactive
Why do the elements in a column on the periodic table form a group?
The elements in a column on the periodic table form a group (or family) because they have similar physical and chemical properties.
Why do elements in the same group or column of the periodic table have similar properties?
Elements in the same column on the periodic table have similar chemical reactivity because they have the same outer electron configuration and it is the electron structure that determines an elements properties.
What do elements ina column on the periodic table usually have in common?
Chemicals in a column, or "group" have similar chemical properties.
In the periodic table elements in the same column have?
Elements in the same column have similar chemical properties. They are from the same family.
Elements in the same column of the periodic table share?
Similar chemical properties.
What group of elements reacts vigorously with water and halogens?
All of the alkali metals, periodic column 1 excluding hydrogen in a wide form periodic table, and all but the two lightest alkaline earth elements, periodic table column 2 excluding beryllium and magnesium, have the reactivity specified by the question.
What does elements in a column of the periodic table have?
Elements in same column have same number of outermost electrons. It determines chemical properties.
What it is a group in the periodic table?
A group is a column of elements that have the same physical or chemical characteristics.
What do all elements in a column of the periodic table have?
They have similar (more or less) chemical properties.
