Are Group 8A element unreactive elements known as transition metals?

Group 8A, also known as group 18, are very non-reactive. However, they are all gases, not transition metals. Transition metals are the large family of elements in the middle of the table in between groups 2 and 13 (2A and 3A). Group 8A are the noble gases.

What family in the Periodic table contain the most reactive metals?

Alkali metals are most reactive metals. Halogen family comprises of highly reactive non-metals.


What are some non reactive metals?

There is no "group" of metals that are unreactive. However, metals that are low on the reactivity series are unreactive. Examples: Gold, Silver, Titanium The Noble gasses are a group on the periodic table that are largely unreactive.


Where does unreactive metals go in the periodica table?

The least reactive metals are those of columns 8, 9, and 10 in periods 5 and 6.


Which metal is more reactive neon or copper?

Neon is not even a metal! It is a noble gas, so relatively unreactive. Copper is a moderatly unreactive metal, more reactive metals include pottassium, sodium, zinc & iron.
