|
Why are groups 1-17 on the periodic table the most reactive? |
the closer an atom is to achieving stability, the more reactive it is. Thus concluding that since groups 1 & 17 are almost stable, they try the hardest to become stable |
|
|
How do ionic bonds form? |
Ionic bonds form as a result of the attraction between positive and negative ions |
|
