This means that the nucleus repels the electron shell making the element's radius bigger and therefore more reactive.]]> 2017-10-10 07:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/s_gilligan_wso/3209/wish/195468275 https://padlet.com/s_gilligan_wso/3209/wish/195468318 The further you go down the column the element is more reactive because there are more electron shells. Since the furthest electron from the nucleus are not as attached to each other, the element is less stable and therefore more reactive.
