the transitional metals (groups 3-12)
group 1 and group 17 are the most reactive groups
groups 11 and 12
It is reasonably reactive. It has been used as a drier for alkyd paints. In that form it was Cerium Octoate.

the alkali metals are the most reactive... either cesium or francium would be the most reactive out of this group.
I think alkali is the most reactive one.
The alkali metals and the halogens are the most reactive groups and among them, francium and fluorine are the most reactive, especially with each other.
Noble gases are least reactive because they have a full shell
Sugars contain two primary reactive groups: hydroxyl groups (-OH) and carbonyl groups (C=O). The hydroxyl groups are responsible for the hydrophilic properties and many of the reactivity of sugars, while the carbonyl group, found in aldoses (aldehyde) and ketoses (ketone), plays a crucial role in the formation of glycosidic bonds and in various biochemical reactions. These reactive groups are essential for sugar's roles in metabolism and cellular processes.
Electron donating groups increase the electron density of a molecule, making it more reactive, while electron withdrawing groups decrease the electron density, making the molecule less reactive.
Inert gasses are completely non reactive. The next least reactive would be some where in the middle of the periodic table (probably precious metals).
Electron donating groups increase the electron density of a molecule, making it more reactive, while electron withdrawing groups decrease the electron density, making the molecule less reactive.
