The correct response is: **Elements with lower electronegativity are more reactive than elements with higher electronegativity.**
This statement holds true particularly for metals, which tend to lose electrons easily (lower electronegativity) and are generally more reactive. In contrast, nonmetals, which usually have higher electronegativity, tend to gain electrons and can be less reactive, depending on the element and its group in the periodic table.
