These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements.

Question illustration
A
Element 1 is more reactive because it has fewer electron shells and is toward the top of its group on the periodic table.
B
Element 1 is more reactive because it has more electrons in its valence shell and is farther to the right on the periodic table.
C
Element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a valence shell close to the nucleus, so it will attract electrons.
D
Element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.

A
sulfur (S)
B
neon (Ne)
C
fluorine (F)
D
iodine (I)

Shiloh wanted to observe the changes that occurred during an exothermic reaction. He monitored the changes and placed them in a chart. Which statement best describes his data?

Question illustration
A
The activation energy was reached at 10:45 a.m. Without the additional energy, the reaction would have stopped.
B
The activation energy was reached at 11:15 a.m. The previous change was the threshold point for a reaction.
C
The activation energy was reached at 10:15 a.m. The additional energy allowed for a lower activity level.
D
The activation energy was reached was 10:45 a.m. The additional energy did not affect the reaction.
