Metallic character of an element is determined by its ease to lose electrons that is the force of attraction put on the shells by the nucleus should be less. Therefore elements with greater atomic number and present in the last period to the left side is considered to be more metallic. so reactive metals are those that easily lose electrons and react with other elements. eg francium , caesium radium barium

What element is a highly reactive metal with a compound of table salt?

The element is sodium. It is highly reactive, reacting violently with water because it is an alkali metal with one excess electron. Table salt is sodium chloride, and is an ionic salt made up of sodium ions and chloride ions in a giant lattice structure.

Where is the most reactive metals are found in the Periods table?

The most reactive metal on the table is Caesium. Fluorine is the most reactive non-metal on the table. For metal periods, reactivity decreases from left to right. Non-metals are the opposite.
