Question

reactivity of metal upto group 14 increases or decreases?
​

Answer 1

Reactivity of metal upto group 14 decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

In metals, the greater the tendency to lose electrons, the greater is the reactivity. The reactivity in metals increases on going down the group, because the chemical reactivity in metals depends on the tendency to lose electrons. In non-metals, the greater the tendency to gain electrons, the greater is the reactivity. The chemical reactivity of non-metals decreases on going down the group as it depends on the tendency to gain electrons. Across a period moving from left to right in a period, the chemical reactivity of elements first decreases and then increases.
