What can affect the rate of a reaction and provide examples of reactions involving active metals and nonmetals?
gpt
The composition of reactants and complexity of the bonds that have to be broken and formed in order for the reaction to proceed affects the reaction rate.
Explanation: A reaction's rate is influenced by the bonds of the reactants, with more bonds and stronger bonds requiring more energy, slowing the reaction, whereas less bonds, like reactions involving metal of low electronegativity and nonmetal with high electronegativity result in faster reactions.
