What are the characteristics of interest for elements called?
Can you give an example of how chemical properties like reactivity and valence affect elements?
Sure, for example, elements with high reactivity are more likely to participate in chemical reactions, while those with low reactivity are less likely to do so. Elements with a full valence shell are often stable and unreactive, while those with an incomplete valence shell tend to be more reactive and participate in chemical bonding to fill their outermost shell.
