Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances <span>increases from bottom to top within the group. We know that when there is an increase of metallic property, there will also be an increase of reactivity. So the answer is letter A.</span>

Answer: option <span>A) increases from bottom to top within the group.

Explanation:

</span>It is a known trend that the metallic character of the elements increase from let to right and from top to bottom.

The greater the metallic character the greater the reactivity of the metal.

So, the elements of the columns 1 and 2 are the most reactive metals and among them the elements at the bottom are yet more reactive.

<span>The higher reactivity of the metals that are lower in the periodic table is attributed to the greater total number of electrons.

The greater the total number of electrons the more reactive the metals as their outermost electrons (the valence electrons which are those that react) are located further from the nucleus and therefore they are held less strongly, which makes them react more easily.</span>

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

Find the atomic numbers of the as yet undiscovered next two members of the series. radon
denpristay [2]
This answer is based on the electron configuration.

And you can use Aufbau's rule to predict the atomic number of the next elements.

Radon, Rn is the element number 86.

Following Aufbau's rules, the electron configuration of Rn is: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6. This means that you are suming 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32 electrons with respect to the element Xe.

You can verity that the atomic number of Xe is 54, so when you add 32 you get 54 + 32 = 86, which is the atomic number of Rn.

Again, as per Aufbau's rules, the next element of the same group or period is when the 6 electrons of the 7p orbital are filled. For that, they have to pass 32 elements whose orbitals are:

7s2 5f14 6d10 7p6: count the electrons added: 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32, and that is why the next element wil have atomic number 86 + 32 = 118.

Now, when you go for a new series, you find a new type of orbital, the g orbital, for which the model predict there are 18 electrons to fill.

So the next element of the group will have ; 2 + 18 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 50 electrons, which means that the atomic number of this, not yet discovered element, has atomic number 118 + 50 = 168.

By the way the element with atomic number 118 was already discovdered at its symbol is Og. You can search that information in internet.

Answers: 118 and 168
