Which element is likely more reactive, and why?
these models show the electron structures of two different
nonmetal elements.
element 1 is more reactive because it has fewer
electron shells and is toward the top of its group on the
periodic table.
element 1 is more reactive because it has more
electrons in its valence shell and is farther to the right on
the periodic table.
element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a
valence shell close to the nucleus, so it will attract
electrons.
element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a
full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.
