Explanation:
A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.
Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.
An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.
- Metals generally have large sizes.
- when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
- therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
- Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
- It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.

The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g
The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n
where n is the number of half-lives
Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives
Mi is the initial mass of the sample
To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)
n=1000/24100=0.0414
So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g
The mass remaining is 2.5 g
- The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

Answer:
2Mg(s) + O2 (g) -> 2MgO(g)
Hetero means different. Examples could be heterogenous (different in form) or heterozygous (having two different forms of a gene).
