The reactivity depends on the elements valence electrons. The need to be stable will make an element become more reactive, In order for an atom to be stable, it needs 8 valence electrons in its outer shell.

Since Calcium is in group 2, it has 2 valence electrons, and would rather give up the electrons. While Sulfur has 6, it would need to gain 2 more to be stable, making it more reactive.

An atoms valence is the amount of electrons in the outer ring and atoms like to have a valence of 8 so the closer to having 8 in the outer ring the more reactive the atom is so since both elements are 2 away from a valence of 8 theyre equally reactive

Which elements are in the same period?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Elements that are in the same period have chemical properties that are not all that similar. Consider the first two members of period 3: sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg). In reactions, they both tend to lose electrons (after all, they are metals), but sodium loses one electron, while magnesium loses two.

Four liquids are described in the table below. Use the second column of the table to explain the order of their freezing points,

KIM [24]

Transcribed image text: Four liquids are described in the table below. Use the second column of the table to explain the order of their freezing points, and the third column to explain the order of their boiling points. For example, select '1' in the second column next to the liquid with the lowest freezing point. Select '2' in the second column next to the liquid with the next higher freezing point, and so on. In the third column, select '1' next to the liquid with the lowest boiling point, '2' next to the liquid with the next higher boiling point, and so on. Note: the density of water is 1.00g/mL .
