REACTIVITY
Very reactive. Reactivity increases down the
group.
Have one valence electron. During chemical
reaction an atom will donate a valence electron
to form stable duplet / octet electron
arrangement.
Depends on how easily it can donate its
valence electron. The atomic radius increase
down the group cause the force of attraction
between the nucleus and the valence electron
become weaker thus, making it easier to
donate its valence electron.
