Each element is unique in terms of reactivity. Most elements react readily in high temperatures, but some react quicker in the cold. The same tendency is observed in respect to pressure, with most elements reacting as pressure increases. However, some others react as pressure decreases. In terms of internal factors, a higher surface area correlates with greater reactivity because reagents have a greater chance of making contact with the substance.
Electropositivity is a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons, and therefore form positive ions; thus, it is opposed to electronegativity. Mainly, this is an attribute of metals, meaning that, in general, the greater the metallic character of an element the greater the electropositivity.n atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. The higher the associated electronegativity number, the more an element or compound attracts electrons towards it.
