Lower left corner and the upper right corner before the noble gases

Number of valence electrons

Explanation:

The most reactive elements are the most electropositive and electronegative elements.

Francium is the most reactive metal and flourine the most reactive non-metals.

Francium is the most electropositive metal and fluorine is the most electronegative non-metal.

Electropositivity is the ability of an atom to willingly lose its valence electrons. This is typical of metals.

Electronegativity is the ability of atoms to attract the shared electrons to themselves in a bond.

  • An element is more reactive than another based on the number of valence electrons it has.
  • The valence electrons determines how reactive an atom is or would be.
  • Elements that requires just one or two electrons to complete their octet would be highly reactive and dire need to find such electron.
  • Also, elements with just an electron above the stable configuration will easily want to lose it.
  • Elements with a complete configuration will  not be reactive.

The valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most shell of an atom used in chemical bonding.

vladimir1956 [14]
Computers don’t have the ability to see as much as we do and in Construction sites this can be very dangerous if your driverless car has not been properly updated in an area where there’s a lot of construction you can we put into harms way. The lanes may have changed and they will not have the data to be able to recognize this in time and you could get into a serious car crash.
