Does francium react when it gives away electrons?

When Fr is oxidised, it does so by donating electrons to the oxidant (eg. Oxygen, H+ )


Why is alkali metal different to other metals?

because it has so many orbitals it has more electrons and it cannot hold onto its electrons as easily and they can easily be snatched away


Why does francium have the biggest atomic size?

Francium is located on the bottom left side of the periodic table of elements. Meaning it has the largest number of electron shells and lowest electron negativity. Thus having the biggest atomic size.


Which alkali metal is most reactive with oxygen?

Francium is an alkaline metal, which means that its one electron is easily given away, making it highly reactive. Because the atom is so large, there is a shielding effect between the protons in the nucleus, and the valence electron. This blocks the attractive forces, and the other layers of electrons work to repel the valence electron, decreasing the ionization energy even further. The low ionization energy is what makes francium so reactive, that none of it can be isolated effectively.


What 4 alkali metals are the most reactive?

Alkali metals have increasing reactivity going down the group. Francium may not be considered as it is not a stable atom: it is radioactive. The next four are Cesium, Rubidium, Potassium and Sodium in decreasing reactivity order.

How does the energy of core electrons compare with the energy of valance electrons?

Core electrons are typically lower in energy compared to valence electrons. This is because core electrons are closer to the nucleus and are more tightly bound due to the stronger electrostatic attraction from the positively charged nucleus. In contrast, valence electrons are farther away and experience greater shielding from the nucleus by the core electrons, resulting in higher energy levels. Consequently, valence electrons are more involved in chemical bonding and reactivity.

Core electrons generally have lower energy compared to valence electrons. This is because core electrons are closer to the nucleus and are more tightly bound due to the stronger electrostatic attraction to the positively charged protons. In contrast, valence electrons, being farther away and experiencing greater shielding from the nucleus, possess higher energy levels and are more involved in chemical bonding and reactions.


Barium is in period 6 and magnesium is in period 3 of the periodic table which element would lose one electron more easily?

Barium would lose an electron more readily, because its outer electrons are farther away from the nucleus than those in magnesium, and thus are not held as tightly. =] Hopefully this helps you out alot.


Are elements such as Plutonium and Uranium more reactive than Francium?

It's important to note that plutonium and uranium (element names are not normally capitalized in the middle of a sentence) have isotopes which are stable enough that their reactivity is experimentally known, while the most stable isotope of francium has a half-life of about 20 minutes. Francium's reactivity is therefore partially a matter of conjecture... the energy given off by its radioactive decay would literally vaporize any reasonably sized piece. That said, as an alkali metal francium would be much more reactive than uranium or plutonium, both of which are transition metals.


What atom has a tendency to attract electrons?

Francium. It's outer shell is far enough away from the nucleus with its opposite, repelling positive charge which makes it difficult to exchange electrons. And its outer shell is incomplete.To put it another way, of all the atoms that are missing an electron from their outer energy level, Francium is the one that has the least influence from the nucleus because its outer energy shell is the furthest away from the centre, so it is happiest to receive electrons.


Which type of element tends to give away electrons conduct electricity and is lustrious?

Metals are typically the type of element that tends to give away electrons easily, conduct electricity well, and exhibit lustrous characteristics. Metals have mobile electrons that can move freely, allowing for electrical conduction, and their shiny appearance is due to their ability to reflect light.
