When we speak of an element being reactive, we're generally talking about that element's desire or willingness to loan out or borrow electrons. You'll recall that the loaning and borrowing (along with the sharing) of electrons is what chemical bonding is all about. In chemistry, those atoms with the strongest desire to either loan out or borrow electons are the most reactive. And we find those atoms at the extreme left and extreme right of the Periodic Table (with the Group 18 elements, the inert or noble gases, excepted).
