What happens to the reactivity of halogens as you go down the group?

the reactivity of halogens goes on decreasing as we go down the group, because of increasing in atomic size of the respective element.


How do you determine reactivness using periodic tabel?

Reactivity generally increases as you move down a group in the periodic table due to the increasing number of energy levels. Within a period, reactivity tends to increase as you move from left to right due to the increasing electronegativity of elements. Metals are usually more reactive than nonmetals and tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, while nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form negative ions.


What happens to non metals across the periodic table?

Moving from left to right across a period, up to but not including the noble gases (group 18), reactivity increases. Moving down a group, the reactivity of the elements decreases. Fluorine is the most reactive element.


Where is the most active solid in a period found?

The most active solid in a period is typically found in the alkali metals group, specifically in the first column of the periodic table. These elements, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, are highly reactive, especially with water and air, and their reactivity increases as you move down the group. In contrast, the most active solid nonmetals, like iodine, are found in the halogens group, which is the second-to-last column. Overall, the reactivity trends are influenced by atomic structure and electron configuration.


Does the reactivity of elements in group 2 increase going up or down?

The reactivity is increasing goinng down in the group.

How do you tell the reactiveness of a non metal on the periodic table?

The periodicity of nonmetals is that reactivity increases from left to right across a period, through group 17, the halogens. As you move down a group, reactivity decreases. Fluorine is the most reactive element.

How does reactivity of elements change across the periodic table?

this is called periodicity, the chemical properties of elements as you go across a period. The reactivity would be very great at first, especially if you are only crossing main group elements, and then would become less reactive, then very reactive again, and then one group over they would be completely inert


How does reactivity work with the elements going down the groups for metals and non metals?

For metals, reactivity generally decreases as you move down a group because the outer electrons are further from the nucleus, making it harder for them to be lost. Nonmetals tend to become more reactive as you move down a group because they have more energy levels and an increased ability to gain electrons. Overall, the reactivity of elements going down a group is influenced by changes in atomic size and electron affinity.

What is the periodic trend for reactivity of metals?

Metals Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.Non-metals Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period.Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group. Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron.


Are the halogens most reactive nonmetals or the least reactive nonmetals?

The Halogens are the most reactive non-metals. However, their reactivity decreases as you go down the group. Most reactive Fluorine>Chlorine>Bromine>Iodine>Astatine Least reactive. However, Astatine is not fully characterised because it is radio-active, and consequently is not found in open(school) labs.


Alkali metal reactivity?

the reactivity increases as you go down the group


Does the reactivity of elements in group 2 increase going up or down?

The reactivity is increasing goinng down in the group.


How does the reactivity of group 1 metals change as you go down group 1?

The reactivity increase down in the group.


What happens to the reactivity as you move down group 1 in the periodic table?

Reactivity in group 1 of elements increases as we go down the group (to francium) because in the alkali metals as we go down the group number of atomic shells increases so the elements with most shells will easily release their electrons in the outer most shell.
