Question

What determines the reactivity of an element?

  1. Size of its nucleus
  2. Number of total electrons
  3. Number of valence electrons
  4. Number of shells

hintHint:

Valence electrons take part in any reaction.

The correct answer is: Number of valence electrons


    • Number of shells determine the number of electrons that can be present.
    • Total number of electrons gives an idea about the atom.
    • Valence electrons take part in any reaction. Hence, valence electrons determines the reactivity of an element.
