500
Would a metal in Group 13 be more or less reactive than a metal in Group 1? Explain.
A metal in group 13 is less reactive than an metal in group 1 because the farther right on the periodic table, the less reactive.

How does the number of valence electrons in atoms of metalloids explain why metalloids are semiconductors?
They have three to six valence electrons, so they can lose or gain electrons.
