We have to fill the gap

The correct answer is: Metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Reactivity of any species depends on ease of release or gain of electron. The species which can release electron easily from valence shell, the species is more reactive whereas the species which can accept electron to its valence shell easily is also more reactive.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances that contain less number of valence electrons. Whereas as non-metals are the substances that contain more number of valence electrons.

Also, when we move down a group then there occurs increase in size of atoms due to addition of electrons.

So, outer shell of atoms move away from the nucleus. Hence, force of attraction between nucleus and valence electrons of metals decreases. So, metals are able to lose an electron easily with increase in size.

On the other hand, non-metals find it difficult to attract an electron when increase in size of atom occurs.

Thus, we can conclude that metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Help me. ASAP!!!!! 23 POINTS!!!!!!!
Alona [7]
a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.

b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.

c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.

hope this helps! :)
