Answer:

D

Please let me know if this helped! Please rate it the brainlist if possible, thanks

We have that  the reactivity of an alkali metal is determined by

The number of protons it has

Option C

From the question we are told

  • A. its boiling and melting points
  • B. the shininess of its surface
  • C. the number of protons it has
  • D. its ability to lose electrons

Generally

It is known that the reactivity of an alkali metal is main determined by

The Positive charges of the nucleus i.e the Protons present in the atoms

and the shielding of the nucleus from the outer electrons

Therefore

For the options

  • A. its boiling and melting points
  • B. the shininess of its surface
  • C. the number of protons it has
  • D. its ability to lose electron

The correct option is

Option C

The number of protons it has
