Reactivity

Ability of a substance to undergo chemical reactions.

Reactivity is the ability of a substance to undergo chemical reactions, typically with other substances. It describes how readily a substance participates in such transformations.

/riˈæktɪvɪti/

From reactive + -ity.

Reactivity is how easily a substance changes when it mixes with other stuff, like how quickly iron rusts or baking soda fizzes in vinegar.

Noble gases like helium are extremely unreactive
Alkali metals, such as sodium, are highly reactive and explode when exposed to water
Reactivity series rank elements based on their tendency to lose electrons

What is reactivity? It's a measure of how readily a substance participates in chemical reactions
What affects reactivity? Temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts can influence it
How is reactivity measured? It's often determined by observing reaction rates and yields
