Chemistry
Can someone please explain how the size of the nuclear charge, the shielding effect and the the force of attraction between the nucleus and the incoming electron, would effect the reactivity of the atom.
If the force of attraction is greater then the reactivity of the atom would be lower as it makes it more difficult for the atom to lose its outer shell electron(s). But for group 7 atoms it will be the opposite as a greater force of attraction ill make it easier for them to gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell. Im not sure about the other 2 things you have mentioned but hope this helped
