A student claims that the more valence electrons an element has, the more reactive it is. Which is an accurate counterargument to this student's claim? (3 points)Alkali metals are not very reactive and have few valence electrons.Alkaline earth metals are not reactive and have few valence electrons.Halogens are not very reactive and have many valence electrons.Noble gases have the maximum number of valence electrons and are unreactive.

Which of the following is a reason why metals are relatively reactive?AMost metals fall on the higher end of the hardness scale.BMost metals have a high boiling point.CMost metals have a strong tendency to gain electrons because they have five to seven valence electrons.DMost metals have one to three valence electrons that they lose when bonding with other elements.
