Are the group 17 elements highly reactive or nonreactive?
Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
Is plutonium highly reactive are non reactive?
Plutonium is a reactive chemical element.
Valence electrons determine an atoms what?
They tell you how reactive the element is. If the atom has only one electron, then it is highly reactive. If the valence shell is full, then it will not react with other elements.
Reactivity of s-block element?
in the periodic table s block element except be and mg are highly reactive element . the reactivity increase from top to bottom and the element of lithium famil is more reactive than the the the beryllium family. cs is more reactive in s block element . they are most powerful reducing agent /
What element is highly malleable and almost non reactive?
Gold.
Are the group 17 elements highly reactive or nonreactive?
Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
What is an reactive nonmetal?
A reactive non metal is an element that can gain the electrons or is more electronegative
Is plutonium highly reactive are non reactive?
Plutonium is a reactive chemical element.
What is more reactive silicon or chlorine?
Chlorine is a highly reactive element
Valence electrons determine an atoms what?
They tell you how reactive the element is. If the atom has only one electron, then it is highly reactive. If the valence shell is full, then it will not react with other elements.
What element is red and highly reactive?
bromine!
Why are the alkali metals and the hologens very reactive?
Alkali metals have only 1 electron in their outermost (ultimate) shell. This means the atom needs energy to loose only one electron to have a completely filled outermost shell. Other atoms with 2 or 3 electrons would have needed more than twice or thrice the energy than these to loose electrons. Hence alkali metals are highly reactive compared to others. Like alkali metals, who need to LOOSE 1 electron to have a completely filled outermost shell, halogens need to GAIN 1 electron to have a completely filled outermost shell. With the same theory mentioned above, they are highly reactive.
Same elements are highly what because their outermost energy levels are only partially filled?
reactive
What is the reactivity of the element chlorine?
Chlorine is highly reactive.
A soft highly reactive radioactive element?
rubidium
Is chlorine one of the most reactive of all elements?
Chlorine is a Highly reactive element.
Because their outermost energy level are only partially filled some elements are highly?
Because their outermost energy level is only partially filled, some elements are highly reactive, I believe.
