Q-00001516
How is the reactivity of elements related to their electronic configuration?
1
Elements with stable electronic configurations are more reactive
2
Elements with unstable electronic configurations are more reactive
3
Electronic configuration does not affect reactivity
4
Reactivity is solely based on atomic number
Answer and Solution
Answer
B. Elements with unstable electronic configurations are more reactive
Solution:
The reactivity of elements is related to their electronic configuration. Elements with unstable electronic configurations, such as having one or a few valence electrons, are more reactive as they tend to lose or gain electrons to achieve stability.
