Question

Is the trend in reactivity for nonmetals the same as the trend in reactivity for metals?

Answer 1

In Non-metals
Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right. Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group. hope this helps, sorry if it doesn’t

Answer 2

no

Step-by-step explanation:

In Non-metals

Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right. Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group

In Metals

Reactivity increases down a group because as nuclear shielding increases and the nucleus' hold on the valence electron weakens, therefore it is easier to remove valence electrons.
