GCSE Science | Reactivity Down Group 1 and 7

How does reactivity change as you go down group 1? (3 marks)

  • reactivity increases as you go down group 1
  • easier to lose an electron
  • outer shell further away from the nucleus
  • more electron shielding
  • less nuclear attraction

How does reactivity change as you go down group 7? (3 marks)

  • reactivity decreases as you go down group 1
  • harder to gain an electron
  • outer shell further away from the nucleus
  • more electron shielding
  • less nuclear attraction
