Sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

<u>Given the following chemical elements:</u>

  • Antimony (Sb).
  • Silicon (S).
  • Fluorine (F).
  • Arsenic (As).

Reactivity can be defined as a chemical property which determines how readily a chemical element <u>bonds</u> with other chemical elements, in order to form a new chemical compound.

Generally, the ability of a chemical element to bond with other chemical elements is largely (highly) dependent on the number of valence electrons it has in the outermost shell of its atomic nucleus.

As a general rule, chemical elements that are having <u>fewer</u> number of valence electrons are the most reactive while those having <u>higher</u> valence electrons are least reactive.

Also, chemical reactivity <u>decreases</u> down a group on the periodic table.

Based on the periodic table, the valency for the given chemical elements are:

  • <u>Antimony (Sb):</u> 5 valence electrons.
  • <u>Silicon (S):</u> 4 valence electrons.
  • <u>Fluorine (F):</u> 7 valence electrons.
  • <u>Arsenic (As):</u> 5 valence electrons.

In conclusion, sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).
