The Chemical Reactivity Worksheet enables you to compare the compatibility of which items?

• A. Only individual chemicals
• B. Only reactive groups
• C. Both individual chemicals and reactive groups
• D. Neither

Answer: (C)

Comparing compatibility means understanding which substances can react when they’re together. The Chemical Reactivity Worksheet is built to evaluate both the actual chemicals you have and the reactive groups they belong to, so you can see hazards across your inventory and across classes of materials. Looking at single chemicals shows known pairings to avoid, while considering reactive groups helps anticipate issues with materials you haven’t matched before but share the same reactive behavior. Because it covers both levels, you can compare both individual chemicals and reactive groups. This dual approach prevents missing hazards that would be overlooked if you looked at only one scope.
