this probably isn't the most professional answer but the gist of it is that whether or not something is an active or an inactive substance is determined by how well it reacts with other atoms and molecules, this (i believe) is a function of how many valance electrons it has, very few valance electrons (1 or 2)makes it easy to react with and a lot of valance electrons (7) makes it easy to form bonds with as well. that's my idea of it. although i would definitely fact check everything I've said just for safety. I do know that the most active metals are those at the bottom left corner of the Periodic Table.
What else can I help you with?
What type of bond is between Metals with nonmetals of differing electronegativities?
If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed. If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is below 1.7, then polar covalent bond is formed.
What non-metal element is most chemically active?
Hydrogen...
Which non metal is most active in open air?
carbon
What yellow non metal is often found near active volcanoes?
a titty ball sack
What type of atoms does an ionic bond occurs between?
A metal and a non-metal
What is the difference between active euthanasia and non-active euthanasia?
non active euthanasia is the same as assisted suiside :)active euthanasia is just plain old suiside :)
What is the difference between a non ferrous and ferrous metal?
Ferrous = Contains Iron Non-Ferrous = Does Not Contain Iron
What is the most active non metal?
chlorine
What is the difference between a marble and a nail?
A marble is made of glass (a non-metal) and is translucentA nail is made of a metal and is opaque
What is the difference between active ingredients and non-active ingredients?
Active ingredients are those that have an effect on the body. Inactive ingredients are fillers, dyes and binders used to carry or deliver the active ingredient.
What is difference between photoelectric sensor and proximity sensor?
photoelectric sensor-sense both metal & non-metal proximity sensor -sense metal only
What type of bond is between Metals with nonmetals of differing electronegativities?
If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed. If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is below 1.7, then polar covalent bond is formed.
What non-metal element is most chemically active?
Hydrogen...
Which non metal is most active in open air?
carbon
What is the difference between a mission and an objective?
A mission is more something that you need to activaly do while an objective can be either active or non active. However, they are very much the same.
What is the difference between a proposition and a non proposition?
difference between a proposition and non proposition
What is the difference between non iodized salt and magnesium?
non-iodized salt is a chemical compound composed of sodium and chlorinemagnesium is an elemental metal and highly flammable
