Metals

Question 4 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Metallic elements become reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

Answer
A
more
B
less

Explanation

Metal atoms react by losing electrons. Moving down a group, the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus and more shielded by inner electrons, so they are easier to lose. Therefore, metallic elements generally become more reactive from top to bottom; “more” is the correct choice.
