Most reactive group of nonmetals?
The Halogens. Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine, with Fluorine being the most reactive.
What is the most reactive non-metal?
The most reactive non-metal is fluorine. It is often nicknamed the 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' of the elements because of its reactivity. NB . Oxygen ,which we breath, is also a very reactive element. If it wasn't so reactive we would probably die.
Most reactive non metal element?
I would easily say that Fluorine is the most reactive element in the world. Fluorine is the most electronegative of all elements and will react with all elements. It is so reactive that it cannot be found alone in nature.
What is the second most reactive metal?
The 2nd most reactive is Cesium after Francium. If you disregard Francium because it is radioactive, then it would be Rubidium after Cesium.
Which family of elements is the most reactive nonmetal family?
The most reactive family of nonmetals is the halogen family.
What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
Do the most reactive atoms already have 8 valence electrons?
No the most reactive have 1 or 7 - if they have 8 they are stable
Where are the most reactive atoms for metals?
The most reactive metal is francium but this element is only a curiosity being very rare and unstable.
In the alkaline earth group atoms with the smallest radii are?
they are most reactive
Most reactive gas?
The most reactive gas is known as fluorine. Its oxidizing abilities make it highly reactive due to its ability to create strong bonds with fellow atoms.
Are atoms with fewer electrons more reactive?
That isn't necessarily true. The Halogens (group 17) follow what you said, but the Alkali metals (group 1) don't. As you go down the column, the elements get more reactive for group 1; Lithium is the least reactive and Francium (speculated) is the most reactive. On the other hand, as you down the Halogens, they do get less reactive. Astatine (speculated) is the least reactive while Fluorine is the most reactive element of them all. Hope that clears up things!
Why are alkaili metals the most reactive elements in the periodic table?
Because to be stable they need 8 atoms on outermost shell.Alkali need 7 so are highly reactive.
Are having eight valence electrons makes atoms very reactive?
No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.
Which is the most reactive of the halogens and why is it the most reactive of the halogens?
fluorine is the most reactive
Why are oxgen atoms neutral?
oxygen atoms are neutral because it has the same number of electrons and protons, which is what makes an atom neutral. oxygen does react with some substances. pure oxygen reacts with fire Oxygen atoms are not neutral they are very reactive. Oxygen molecules are less reactive than lone atoms but as still highly reactive.
What metal is very chemicaly reactive?
Metals are highly reactive because of their characteristic electronic configuration, that is, the electrons in the atoms of metals have high tendency to leave their respective atoms and react with other species which have high tendency to accept electron.
Why are atoms except inert gases reactive?
Atoms are reactive [except noble gases] because atoms have valence electron which try to acquire the stable configuration either by sharing, losing, or gaining of electrons. For e.g. Na is reactive as it consist of 1 electron in its valence shell which it can lose to combine with others..
