Because they are farther across the periodic table<span />
Basic radicals (cations) have been divided into groups based on Ksp values
Noble gases are supposed to be the least reactive elements so I’m assuming Neon would be the most least reactive out of all of them.
Answer is: Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.
Fluorine and bromine are in group 17 in Periodic table of elements. Group 17 (halogens) elements are in group 17: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I). They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.
Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.
Fluorine has atomic number 9, it means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.
Fluorine tends to have eight electrons in outer shell like neon (noble gas) and gains one electron in chemical reaction.
Electron configuration of fluorine: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.
Electron configuration of neon: ₁₀Ne 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
