<span>The alkali metals and hydrogen are reactive because they have only one electron to give in order to complete their valence shell. It is easier to give that one electron so when given the opportunity they will. This means they will react with anything polar or willing to take an electron.</span>
Explanation:
Two events involving electrons are gain and loss of electrons.
When there is gain or loss of electrons between two atoms then it results in the formation of ionic bond.
Whereas when there is sharing of electrons between two atoms then it results in the formation of covalent bond.
Therefore, the chemical bonds formed can be ionic or covalent bonds.
The Correct Answer Is 3.2
