Which statement is correct about the rate of a chemical reaction? A. It increases when the concentration of reactants increases. B. It does not depend on the concentration of reactants. C. It increases when the temperature decreases. D. It does not depend on the temperature.

It increases when the concentration of reactants increases.

Explanation:

Increasing the concentration of reactants in a reaction increases the amount of reacting molecules or ions which would increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Reaction rate does depend on temperature. Increasing temperature also increases reaction rate because particles move faster with the increased kinetic energy to produce more collisions.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
