REACTIVITY OF

GROUP 1 AND 17
LET'S GET TO KNOW REACTIVITY

LITHIUM, SODIUM,
POTASSIUM
GROUP 1
1. When going down
Group 1, the atomic size
increase.
2. The single valence
electron becomes
further away from the
nucleus.
3. Attraction forces
between nucleus and
the valence electrons
becomes weaker.
4. Easier for atom to lose
the single valence
electron to achieve
duplet or octet electron
arrangement.
5. The reactivity of Group
1 elements increases
down the group.

GROUP 1 7
FLUORINE, CHLORINE,
BROMINE

1. When going down


Group 17, the atomic
size increase.
2. The valence shell of
halogen becomes
further away from the
nucleus.
3. Attraction forces
between nucleus and
the valence electrons
becomes weaker.
4. Difficult for atom to
attract the one
electron into the
valence shell.
5. The reactivity of Group
17 elements decreases
down the group.
