How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?

1 answer:

5 0

3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

An equation is said to be balanced when the number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal in number.

Whereas an equation where electrolytes in an aqueous solution are represented as dissociated ions is known as an ionic equation.

For example, $HCl(aq) + LiOH(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}O(l) + LiCl(aq)$ can be represented in ionic form as follows.

$H^{+} + Cl^{-} + Li^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O(l) + Li^{+} + Cl^{-}$

Now, cancelling the common ions present on both sides of the equation. The resulting, ionic equation will be as follows.

$H^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}O(l)$
