Electrons are no reactive by itself but they are important in chemical reactions - valence electrons.

Why is plutonium so reactive?

Because plutonium has an affinity for electrons.


Why are oxygen and potassium reactive?

Oxygen can gain two electrons. Potassium form cation by loosing an electron. So they are reactive.


If an element has a total of 86 electrons is it inert reactive or non reactive?

An element with 86 electrons is reactive because it is not a noble gas and does not have a full outer electron shell. Elements tend to react to achieve a stable electron configuration, such as by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a full outer shell.


Why is'nt nitrogen reactive?

Nitrogen is reactive. But not very reactive because of the amount of electrons it has.


What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?

The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.


Is aluminium reactive with other elements?

Yes, aluminum is reactive with other elements. Being a metal, it likes to give its outer electrons away to have an empty outer electron shell, and being in the 3A column, it has 3 electrons to give away, so it is quite reactive.


Does two valence electrons is a reactive or non reactive?

Two valence electrons make an atom chemically reactive because it wants to either gain or lose electrons to achieve a full valence shell. This makes it more likely to form bonds with other atoms to reach a stable electron configuration.


Are valence electrons the reactive parts of an atom?

reactive parts of an electron?


Why is xenon less reactive then bromine?

Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.


Is a nitrogen reactive or stable?

Nitrogen is reactive because it does not have 8 valence electrons.


Why is aspirin more reactive than benzene?

Benzene has a stable structure. Aspirin has an carboxylic group with delocalized electrons. So aspirin is more reactive than benzene.


What do very reactive metals lose?

Reactive metals lose electrons when being oxidised.
