A student attempts to arrange four elements (as shown below) in order from most reactive to least reactive. Is the arrangement correct, and why (or why not)? (1 point) Responses Yes. An element’s reactivity decreases from left to right on the periodic table. Yes. An element’s reactivity decreases from left to right on the periodic table. Yes. An element’s reactivity decreases along with its atomic number. Yes. An element’s reactivity decreases along with its atomic number. No. An element’s reactivity decreases from right to left on the periodic table. No. An element’s reactivity decreases from right to left on the periodic table. No. An element’s reactivity decreases as atomic mass increases.
No. An element's reactivity generally decreases as you move from left to right across the periodic table, as elements become less likely to lose electrons and form ions. However, the arrangement shown does not follow this trend. Instead, it lists elements in increasing atomic number.
