Most chemistry as it is studied is based on the interactions of the valance shell electrons of two or more atoms.
yes.fluorine is the most reactive element because it has a bigger nucleus,more protons that attract negative electrons and only has one full shell.
strontium is more reactive than calcium because it is more electropositive. valance electrons of strontium are farther away from the nucleus of strontiium atom than the valance electrons of calcium from nucleus of calcium atom. so the force exerted by the nucleus on the valence electron of strontium is lesser than that exerted by calcium. so the strontium atom can loose its valance electrons more easily. therefore strontium is more electropositive and more reactive than calcium.
Reactivity increases as you go down the group. Radiom is far more reactive than Beryllium.
Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
Chemistry of calcium Calcium is generally more reactive than magnesium

Reactions in chemistry are all about the number of electrons in the outer shell of an atom. Generally the more space it has in this shell the more reactive it will be. Group 1 have only 1 electron in the outer shell, group 8 have 8 (8 is the maximum possible so these elements are not reactive).

Yes, Neon is a noble gas (its outer shell of electrons is full) and does not react with anything, while Chlorine is a halide and is very reactive.
Displacement has both physics and chemistry meanings:Physics - the shortest distance between two points.Chemistry - a displacement reaction is where a less reactive element is removed in place of a more reactive one.
strontium is more reactive than calcium because it is more electropositive. valance electrons of strontium are farther away from the nucleus of strontiium atom than the valance electrons of calcium from nucleus of calcium atom. so the force exerted by the nucleus on the valence electron of strontium is lesser than that exerted by calcium. so the strontium atom can loose its valance electrons more easily. therefore strontium is more electropositive and more reactive than calcium.
I think lithium should be more reactive as it has only 1 valance electron wheres Boron has 3 valance electrons. The electro positivity(tendency to lose electrons) of Lithium is greater then Boron, therefore more reactive.
Potassium is more reactive in water. This is due to the fact its outer shell is further from the attractive forces of the nucleus and therefore the electron in the outer shell is more easily lost - allowing a reaction to take place.

Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
Bromine is way more reactive
