HELPP ANSWERSSS A student designs an investigation to test the reactivity of two elements with HCl to produce hydrogen gas. Using the periodic table as a model which of the following would you expect to produce the most hydrogen gas within the first minute of the reaction?

A.
Al, because it has the higher ionization energy and more readily accepts electrons to participate in a reaction.

B.
Al, because it has the lower ionization energy and more readily gives up valence electrons to participate in a reaction.

C.
Cs, because it has the lower ionization energy and more easily gives up its valence electrons to participate in a reaction.

D.
Cs, because it has the higher ionization energy and more easily gives up its valence electrons to participate in a reaction.
