Question

As you move down the first group, reactivity _________.
Scientists Say: Periodic table | Science News for Students

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Stays the same
  4. They are all inert

hintHint:

As we move down the group 1 size increases.

The correct answer is: Increases


    • As we move down the group 1 size increases.
    • As the size increases the outer electrons are far away from the nucleus and can take part easily in reactions.
    • As we move down the first group, reactivity increases.
