Reactivity increases cause ionization energy decreases

**Incomplete answer**

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases as you go down a group, as proven by our alkaline earth metals demo from yesterday.

** Think about why and what specific evidence we have for this trend***

# data[].attributes.body
down a group the reactivity of metals increases, we know this since it allows valence electrons to leave easier

# data[].attributes.body
Going down a group of metals, the reactivity of metals increases, as they react mostly by losing electrons, and since the further one goes down a group, the valence electrons are further from the nucleus and is thus lost easier, the further down a group one goes, the more reactive the metal would be.

# data[].attributes.body
Increasing because a lower first ionization energy, which we saw in our experiment

# data[].attributes.body
The reactivity increases going down groups because the ionization energy decreases.😘 MM

What about evidence for this trend?

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases as you go down because the ionization energy to pull the electrons decreases and they are easily taken

# data[].attributes.body
The reactivity increases, because the amount of energy needed to remove a valence electron goes down, as proven by yesterdays lab

# data[].attributes.body
As you go down a group the reactivity of metals increases because of the decrease in ionization energy which means it takes less energy for them to lose electrons

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases as you go down a group because the ionization energy required for the reaction decreases. Yesterday, we saw that calcium was more reactive than magnesium. Since when phenolphthalein was added, it turned darker than as with magnesium

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases because ionization energy decreases. The elements we used yesterday that were further down on the P.T, reacted more violently.

# data[].attributes.body
the reactivity increases as you down a group because the ionization energy required is less

# data[].attributes.body
It increases because the valence electrons are further from the nucleus and are more willing to leave the orbitals.

# data[].attributes.body
the reactivity increases as you go down a group of metals because the ionization energy required decreases

What about evidence for this?

# data[].attributes.headline
As you go down a group, reactivity increases because ionization energy decreases. This means it easier for elements to lose electrons and undergo a reaction. As you go down a group, elements react stronger and quicker.  EK

Incomplete answer

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases down a group of metals because the ionization energy decreases, we know this because of the demo we saw

# data[].attributes.body
Increases going down the group
Valence electrons are easily taken

# data[].attributes.body
It increases going down a group because the valence electron can leave more easily. In the demo the metals that were further down the group reacted more violently.

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases going down a group of metals, because the ionization energy required decreases.

Incomplete answer

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases as you go down a group, because the energy required to remove or gain an electron is decreased.

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases because there is less ionization energy because the valence electrons are farther away from the nucleus. Evidence is the speed, violence, greater ph change, more gas released, greater temperature change, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
The reactivity of a metal increases down a period because the valence electrons are easily taken from the atom.

# data[].attributes.body
the reactivity increases as you go down a group of metals.

# data[].attributes.body
Reactivity increases as you go down a group and the evidence is our lab yesterday.
