Question

Moving from the element with atomic number 10 to atomic number 11 on the periodic table, there is a change in reactivity. In three to
five sentences, identify the direction of the change and give two reasons for the change.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is a start.

Ne has its outside shell full of electrons; therefore, its reaction with other elements is minimal if at all. Na, the next element, has 1 more proton and 1 more electron. More importantly that added electron is in the outside shell. It can fill that shell by ADDing 7 more electrons or LOSing the one electron. Obviously, it loses the one electron and it does so with gusto which makes Na a very reaction element while Ne is not reactive at all. Now follow oobleck's instructions, add what you read to what I've written,then summarize all of it in your own words.
