Question

mention one reactive metal and one reactive non - metal . write the chemical reaction for the reaction of this metal with oxygen . ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1-

Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal because it is the most electronegative of all of the non-metal elements of the periodic table. Due to its strong electro negativity & small size, Fluorine has a strong tendency to accept electrons from other atoms or ions. As a result it oxidises all other substances.

2-

The general equation for this reaction is: metal + oxygen → metal oxide. Rust is a form of iron oxide and it forms slowly when iron is exposed to air. Iron can be transformed to steel (an alloy), which is more resistant to rust.
