Question

24 select the correct answer. which element is the most reactive nonmetal?
a. sulfur (s)

b. phosphorus (p)

c. nitrogen (n)

d. fluorine (f)

e. bromine (br)

Explanation:

Reactivity of nonmetals generally increases as we move up and to the right in the periodic table (excluding noble gases). Fluorine (F) is in Group 17 (halogens), and among the given nonmetals, it is the most electronegative and has the highest tendency to gain electrons, making it the most reactive nonmetal. Sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), and bromine (Br) are less reactive than fluorine in terms of nonmetal reactivity.

Answer:

D. fluorine (F)
