Three factors that determine the reactivity of elements are the valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost electron shell of an atom. The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. That is why in periodic table the elements were put together according to their numbers of valence electrons.

METALS

The most reactive kind of metallic element is a metal from Group 1 sodium or potassium.

An atom in Group 1 has only one valence electron.

NON-METALS

A nonmetal tends to attract another valence electrons to attain a full valence shell.

What is an enzyme? Describe using the words enzyme, catalyst, substarte, and active site.
fgiga [73]
An enzyme is a catalyst which means it changes the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs. It never alters the reaction in any way or changes nay chemical properties, only the speed at which it occurs and is completely absorbed in the meantime. The substrates that are reacting just have their reaction faster.
