Question #7de66
1 Answer
Fluorine is more reactive, because it needs only one electron to complete its octet.
The closer an atom is to completing its octet, the more reactive it will be.
The number of valence electrons in C, N, O, and F are 4, 5, 6, and 7.
They need 4, 3, 2, and 1 electron(s) to complete their octets.
F is only one electron away from completing its octet, so it is the most reactive element.
