Why is sodium more reactive than lithium​

Chemistry

creativ13 [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  Atomic radius of sodium is greater than lithim,which allows sodium to loose electron easily than lithium. electropositivity and mettalic character increases as we move along the group or top to bottom . this is the reason why sodium is more reactive than lithium .

Answer:

Sodium is more reactive than lithium because as we move down a group it is easy to lose electrons as the number of shells increases and nuclear charge decreases. As valence electrons take part in chemical reaction and its easier to lose electrons as we move down a group chemical reactivity increases. Therefore, sodium is more reactive than lithium.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{36}^{86}\textrm{Kr}+_2^4\textrm{He}

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha

The  balanced nuclear equation when the isotope Strontium-90 decays by Q-  decay is :

_{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}\rightarrow _{36}^{86}\textrm{Kr}+_2^4\textrm{He}
