The stable elements already have 8 electrons in their valence shell, which is full, therefor, they wont react with other elements.

A reactive element needs to either gain or lose electrons to have a full valence shell. So, since the first column only needs to lose one electron, they are considered HIGHLY reactive. Also, the halogens (one column right of the noble gases) only need to gain one, so they are also highly reactive
