Nonmetal fluorine
Cesium. Cesium is the bad boy of the alkali metals, a period that's just jam-packed with seriously nasty elements. Cesium is reactive enough that if you were to put some water into dry ice, and wait till the ice got that cold itself before putting some cesium on it, the cesium would still react with it! Here's a remembrance: the higher an alkali metal's atomic number, the more reactive it is.
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.
they are the least reactive elements
Neon (Ne) in the second period on the periodic table of the elements has the highest atomic number in that period of 10.
Least reactive
the metal potassium and the nonmetal bromine
nonmetal fluorine
lithium and fluorine

No, hydrogen is in period one and lithium is in period two.
Neon (Ne) in the second period on the periodic table of the elements has the highest atomic number in that period of 10.

Least reactive
yes and so is silicon and argon
They all react, but Cesium would be the most reactive, since francium is radioactive we don't consider francium the most reactive.
