It really isn't unusual....it is unique in that the elements have seven valence electrons and all are rather reactive; especially fluorine, which is the most reactive element.
The most active element in Group 17 of the periodic table turns out the be the most reactive element among all of the elements. It's fluorine (F), and we sometimes hear it called the "hungry wolf" of the periodic table because it is so reactive.A link is provided to the Wikipedia post of the periodic table. This table features hyperlinks as part of its makeup. Each chemical element's symbol is a link to the Wikipedia post on that element.
Fluroine is the most reactive non-metal.
The halogen gas that is that most reactive of all elements is Fluorine
Group 1 on the periodic table, known as the alkali metals, are the most reactive group of metals. They all share the chemical property of having just 1 valence electron. First ionization energies for these elements is quite low, and as you go down the group from top to bottom it gets lower. The alkali metals are so reactive that they do not exist elementally in nature; only in compounds. Sodium and potassium are the most common. Francium is the rarest.
Hydrogen is not only the lightest element of all, it is also very reactive.
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
Francium is considered the most reactive of the group 1 elements. This is because it is the largest of all elements in group 1, therefore takes the least amount of energy to lose an electron (Group 1 elements react by losing electrons.)

All metals are highly reactive because of their properties. As you move left on a period while moving down you move close to Francium (most-metallic). Since group 1 is the most farthest left group, it is the most metallic, therefore the most reactive.
Chlorine is a Highly reactive element.
Fluroine is the most reactive non-metal.
the most reactive (non-metals) group in the periodic table is GROUP 17+they are all reactive
All of the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals heavier than magnesium, and the halogens fluorine and chlorine are all highly reactive with water itself.
The Alkali metals are the most reactive group of metals in the Periodic Table. Of these Francium is the most reactive metal of all.
