Sonya is studying a nonmetal element. She learns that the element is like other elements in its group because it can bond to form a salt or an acid. She also learns that the element is the most reactive element in its group. Which element is Sonya most likely studying?

A
sulfur (S)
B
neon (Ne)
C
fluorine (F)
D
iodine (I)
25

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.
