What makes an element reactive


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 239 People


Some elements are more "reactive" than other elements; why do you think this is?

Answered by maham237 @



All other atoms have less stable electron numbers, so they react with each other and share electrons to be more stable. The most reactive elements tend to be short one or two electron or have one or two extra.
