The reactivity of an atom arises from

Biology
1 answer:
saw5 [17]3 years ago
3 0

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’.

Water is warmed by the sun and
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: The water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. The sunlight warms the water by its heat.

Water is then cooled down and condensation takes place.

The water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.

Water and nutrients that are not recycled on earth are stored in the form of reservoirs.
