What is the family of very reactive groups of mostly nonmetals whose atoms gain or share one electron in chemical reactions?

The Halogen family.
All but one of the halogens are nonmetals, and all share similar properties. A halogen atom has 7 valence electrons and typically gains or shares one electron when it reacts.
Hope this helped.

Do Nonmetals with lower electron affinity have higher reactivity?
No. The most reactive non metal, fluorine, has the highest electron affinity.
Why are electrons so reactive?
Electrons are no reactive by itself but they are important in chemical reactions - valence electrons.
Does potassium react with metals or nonmetals more?
Since potassium is a metal it reacts with nonmetals.
Are nonmetals least reactive?
Some are but the most reactive are also non-metals.
What is the most reactive family of nonmetals and metals?
The most reactive nonmetals are in group 17 (halogens). The most reactive metals are in group 1 (alkali metals).
What is the most reactive group of nonmetals whose atomsgain one electron in chemical reactions called?
The halogens, group 17
What family is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals where atoms gain or share one electron in chemical reactions?
This family is the halogen group: F, Cl, Br, I, At, Uus.
What is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms gain or share one electron in a chemical reaction?
Halogens
What family is very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose atoms gain or share one electron in chemical ractions?
what is the mass of a protein
What term describes the most reactive nonmetals that have seven valence electron?
halogens
Why are halogens reactive nonmetals?
because of having only one electron in valence shell
Why Chlorine is very reactive non metals?
Chlorine is a very reactive nonmetals because this element don't form any known chemical compound and need only one electron to achieve a noble gas configuration.
Do Nonmetals with lower electron affinity have higher reactivity?
No. The most reactive non metal, fluorine, has the highest electron affinity.
What family is a very reactive group of mostly nonmetals whose gain or share one electron in chemical reactions?
Group 17 elements, 'Halogens', have seven electrons in their valence shell and show the valency of 1. 4 of the 5 elements in that group are non metals including fluorine, which is the strongest.
What physical and chemical properties are among the nonmetals?
Most nonmetals are poor conductions of electricity and heat and are reactive with other elements. Solid nonmetals are dull and brittle.
Which reactive element will gain or loses an electron?
Generally metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Do non metals have a wide range of chemical properties?
Yes, nonmetals (excepting noble gases) are reactive chemical elements.
