Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group. How does this help explain the difference in the reactivity of metals within a group?

Sagot :

Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..
