The correct response related to the relationship between reactivity and electronegativity is:
An element will be more reactive if it has a very high or very low electronegativity.
This statement is true because highly electronegative elements (like the halogens) are very reactive nonmetals, while elements with very low electronegativity (like alkali metals) are reactive metals. Elements with intermediate electronegativity tend to be less reactive.
