Some elements are highly what because their outermost energy levels are only partially filled?

The noble gases (helium, neon, krypton, xenon, radon) have complete outer electron shells, and the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) have almost complete outer electron shells. Note that the chemical properties of an element with a complete outer shell are tremendously different from the chemical properties of an element with an almost complete outer shell.
