You can determine the reactivity of a metal by looking at it's valence electrons. For example if the atom has one electron in it's valence shell it is more reactive because it wants to get rid of it and have a full valence shell.

Explain why Fluorine is the most active non-metal and Francium is the most active metal?

Francium is the most electropositive chemical element and has the lowest electronegativity; for the fluorine the situation is exactly inverse.


Evaluate these electron configurations and determine which represents the most active nonmetal?

The most active non metal would be fluorine, 9F2 with electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p5 If you were making pure fluorine, what would you have ready to collect your product in? (should you be ready for the most reactive nonmetal to react with anything you put it in)?
