A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.
For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.
In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
Answer:
electron, proton, nucleus, atom, molecule teacher
Answer: There would have to be three nitrogen atoms in the products. The law of conservation of matter states that the amount of substance before a reaction occurs should be the same as the amount of substance after the reaction.
Explanation: This is the EXACT sample answer from the test, just reword it if you want. ^
