Question

Among chlorine and silicon which is more reactive and why

Answer 1

chlorine as it comes above in the reactivity series.

Answer 2

Chlorine is more reactive than silicon

Explanation; -As you move across a period, the nuclear charge will increase; the number of energy levels will stay the same, so there is a stronger and stronger attraction for the electrons.

-The electrons are being held more tightly as you move across a period. It becomes more and more difficult to lose electrons and consequently the reactivity of non metals increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table; Therefore; chlorine is more reactive than silicon.
