The reactivity of an atom arises from

Biology

Answer:

B

Explanation:

For metals, the further away the valence electrons are from the nucleus, the higher the reactivity of the elements. Unlike halogens that are more reactive if the valence orbital shells are closer to the nucleus. This is due to ionization energies – which is the minimum energy required to discharge an electron from its orbit.

For metals this should be lower because they need to lose electrons to attain a stable electron configuration. For halogens it should be high because they don't need to lose electrons, but rather gain, in order to attain stable electron configuration.

Electrons in their orbital shells need to occur in pairs (with opposite quantum states) to be in stable configuration and as long as an atom has orbitals with single electrons, the atoms will be reactive as opposed to when its orbitals are ‘full’.

Almost all animals share the following characteristics except
Aleks [24]

The correct answer is A.

Animal cells do not have a  cell wall.

A cell wall is the rigid, outermost covering of plant cells and is made up of cellulose.  It is absent in animal cells. The cell wall is visible under a light microscope.

Animal cells are instead covered by a cell membrane. It is made up of lipids, proteins, and small amounts carbohydrates. It is a thin and delicate structure  that can only be seen using an electron microscope.
