Question

_______ with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and _______ with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.
A. Transition elements; metals
B. Nonmetals; transition elements
C. Nonmetals; metals
D. Metals; nonmetals

Answer 1

woah i cant answer that srry

Answer 2

That's okay, thanks for trying!

Answer 3

I'd replace "largest atoms" with "largest \(radius\)", and then it makes sense

Answer 4

A for the first one
D for the second one

Answer 5

It's all one question, just needs two answers with it
What would you say the best possible answer would be according to you @JFraser ? I'm thinking A

Answer 6

A is right

Answer 7

transition metals are not typically reactive, A is not right

Answer 8

So, would it be D then? @JFraser

Answer 9

it would be D.

alkali metals have only 1 valence electron and are very reactive. the largest alkali metals are Cs and Rb, which are the most reactive of the group.

the halogens are also very reactive, F and Cl are the most reactive non-metals, because they have the smaller radii

Answer 10

Thank you very much!!

Answer 11

YVW

Answer 12

Can I bother you to help me with some more questions?

Answer 13

sure, if i can help i will

Answer 14

Ethyne differs from ethene in what way?
A. The carbons share three pairs of electrons in ethyne and only two pairs in ethene.
B. Ethyne contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms.
C. ** The carbons in ethyne each form three single bonds whereas those in ethene each form four single bonds
D. The carbons in ethyne are not fixed in place as they are in ethene.
The one with the ** is the one I am thinking.

Answer 15

I meant A, my bad @JFraser
