reactivitya
Reactivity is a fundamental concept in chemistry that describes the tendency of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction, either by itself or in the presence of other substances, and to release energy. This tendency is influenced by a variety of factors, including the substance's chemical structure, electron configuration, and the surrounding conditions like temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
Elements and compounds differ greatly in their reactivity. For instance, alkali metals like sodium and potassium
The reactivity of a substance can be quantified by its position in the electrochemical series, which ranks
