Which of the two elements would be more ...

Which of the two elements would be more reactive, element A of atomic number 36 or element B of atomic number 19 ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electronic configurations of elements A and B are given below:

Since the outermost shell of element A is completely filled, it is stable and unreactive. The outermost shell of element B contains one electron only. Hence, it is more reactive.
