It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.

How do you know if an element is highly reactive?
Well, for starters, if it explodes and you become harmed, injured, mamed, disfigured, dead or disintegrated, then you have your answer, just have your pen and notebook ready when you test any element that you think may be reactive, because you JUST MAY not have much time to write that sucker down.
Is sodium tasteless and oderless?
Sodium has no particular taste or odour.Sodium is highly reactive: it reacts so violently with water (or moisture) that it needs to be stored under oil. The reaction is exothermic (giving out a lot of heat) and produces the highly corrosive sodium hydroxide. As a result what you might taste or smell of sodium is more likely to be the taste or smell of tissue in your mouth or nasal passage suffering chemical burns.
What is the least reactive metal in order?
Gold is the least reactive metal.
Does a inkberry have an edible or poisonous parts?
The seeds are highly toxic and can cause hemagglutination. The berries can and have been cooked into a jelly or pie (provided the seeds are completely strained out) but any food use is considered controversial due to the toxicity of the seeds.
What are three examples of elements that are classified as metals and their uses?
Iron (Fe) is a transition metal, and it's used to make steel. Steel is the most common metal in modern civilization, and it is used as a structural element in everything from the cases of equipment, to vehicles to the framework for the largest buildings we construct. Aluminum (or aluminium, Al) is a poor metal, and we use it for almost countless purposes. It is present in any smaller items from the size of of a car on down that need light, strong metal to build it. And there would be absolutely no aviation industry without aluminum because it is used to make structural elements in 99% of the planes currently flying. Sodium (Na) is an alkai metal, and it is highly reactive. It is so highly reactive that we never find it free in nature, but we only encounter it in combination with other elements. A common compound containing sodium is sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt.
Are the group 17 elements highly reactive or nonreactive?
Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
Is cerium highly reactive?
Cerium is reactive but not highly reactive.
Do compounds have the same properties from which they are made?
No. They can have radically different properties from the elements they're formed from.Easy example: Sodium chloride. Sodium is a highly reactive nonmetal. Chlorine is a highly reactive nonmetal. They combine into a very nonreactive compound - table salt.
Is neon highly reactive?
No, not really. Neon is a Noble Gas meaning it has all the shells in its atom filled so it doesn't really share, gain, or lose electrons. Study has shown it could possibly combine with Fluorine.
What is a very reactive non metals?
The highly reactive non-metals are in the halogen group. They just need one more electron to fill the octet. Therefore they are highly reactive. For example fluorine and chlorine. And the highly reactive metals are placed in the first group (alkali metals). For example Sodium and potassium.
What are the most reactive nonmetals located on the periodic table?
The most reactive metals are located at the left top of the periodic table. Fluorine is the most reactive non metal. The next two members are oxygen and chlorine.Fluorine, chlorine and bromine are highly reactive. They easily gain electron. They are present in group-17.
What is a highly reactive metal?
the highly reactive metal is potassium
What is the activity of non metals?
Most non-metals are not highly reactive or an completely inert. However, the Halogens in Group 17 are reactive with nearly every substance on the planet.
Is sodium chloride highly reactive?
Sodium chloride is not highly reactive.
What metal is very chemicaly reactive?
Metals are highly reactive because of their characteristic electronic configuration, that is, the electrons in the atoms of metals have high tendency to leave their respective atoms and react with other species which have high tendency to accept electron.
Why neon highly reactive?
neon has completely filled energy levels and hence is generally chemically inert (or unreactive).
Is potassium highly reactive or not usually reactive?
Potassium is highly reactive, even explosive in some circumstances.
