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

please help I don’t understand the difference between ammonium and ammonium ion. I possibly did 9.a) correct but part b is a bit

You may find the electron diagram of ammonia and the ammonium ion in the attached picture.

Explanation:

Ammonia NH₃ have covalent bonds with the hydrogen atoms in which for each bond one electron comes from nitrogen atom (blue dot) and the other from the hydrogen atom (red dot). You may see that the nitrogen remains with the lone pair of electrons that does not participate in bonding.

Ammonia NH₃ have a basic character and is able to accept a proton H⁺ from an acid to form the ammonium ion NH₄⁺. The fourth bond formed its called a coordinative-covalent bond that is created only with the nitrogen lone pair of electrons (blue dots).
