Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
8 0

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
