Element a has seven valence electrons. how does its reactivity compare to that of element b, which has four valence electrons?

The correct answer is "Element A is more reactive".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

Element A is more reactive.

Element A is less reactive.

Element A and B have the same reactivity.

Element A has no reactivity.

The correct answer is "Element A is more reactive".

Valence electrons are defined as outer shell electron that can participate in the formation of chemical bonds with other atoms. The atoms tend to have either 0 or 8 valence electrons. Therefore, depending in the number of valence electrons, an atom can either give their valence electrons (1 to 3 electrons) or try to take more valence electrons (4 to 7 electrons). Element A with 7 valence electrons is more reactive that Element B with 4 valence electrons, because Element A only needs 1 more electron to full its 8 valence electrons.

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
