Non metals and metollids in periodic tables are the same how this helps ;)
You’ll need to set up a convention from moles over atoms to atoms over moles
As you go down a group, the atoms get bigger. The bigger the atom, the more unstable it is. The more unstable it is, the more reactive the atom will be. So, as you go down a group, the nonmetals will become more reactive.
<span>Oxidation is the loss of electrons and corresponds to an increase in oxidation state. A reduction is the gain of electrons and corresponds to a decrease in oxidation state. Balancing redox reactions can be more complicated than balancing other types of reactions because both the mass and charge must be balanced. Redox reactions occurring in aqueous solutions can be balanced by using a special procedure called the half-reaction method of balancing. In this procedure, the overall equation is broken down into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and the other for reduction. The half-reactions are balanced individually and then added together so that the number of electrons generated in the oxidation half-reaction is the same as the number of electrons consumed in the reduction half-reaction.</span>
