Best Answer

K potassium reacts readily with Cl chlorine because the electron configuration changes to that of a noble gas. Group 7a would be the best guess.

Which groups on the periodic table react with potassium?

Potassium would strongly react with the elements in group 17 and group 16.


Why would potassium react to group 17 elements in the periodic table?

Potassium is a metal, and it would react to group 17 (7A) because those elements are nonmetals.


Which region of the periodic table is least likely to react with other elements?

Group-18 elements least react with other elements. They are inert in nature. They are called noble gases.Elements in group 18 are less likely to react with any other elements. This group is made out of the noble gases. Its members are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn.


Mg will most likely react with elements in which group?

The Halogens Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine


Why do elements from group 1 form compounds easily?

The elements in group 1 combine easily with other elements to form compounds because they are trying to get rid of their extra electrons. That is why, for example, potassium will react strongly in water. Hope this helps.


Elements least likely to react with other elements are in this column are known as?

noble gases, or inert gases they are the same thing and they are group 18 they have full valence electrons so they are unlikely to react with other elements


How many elements in potassium chloride?

There are two elements in potassium chloride. One atom of potassium and one atom of chlorine react to form potassium chloride.


Is potassium stable metal that does not react readilyto other elements?

No, potassium is an extremely reactive metal that reacts very easily with other elements.


Which group of elements reacts violent with elements in group 1?

Francium would react most violently with hydrochloric acid but all of them would react violently. Cesium and Rubidium would certainly react explosively. Potassium would be very violent and catch fire. Sodium would be quite violent.


What is special about the elements in the same group?

elements are in the same group since they react similarly to other elements in that group.


Which elements are most likely to react with other elements?

The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.


Does potassium reacts positive with all other elements?

Potassium does not react at all with some elements such as helium, but when it reacts, it always forms a positive ion.
