Fluorine is the most chemically reactive non-metallic element. (Fluorine is the most reactive of all the elements, actually.) It is known as the hungry wolf of the Periodic Table - and it earned that nickname.

∙ 15y agoThis depends on the context, as some elements are more active than others depending on the solvent (i.e, polar aprotic, polar protic, organic etc.) Generally, flourine, chlorine, bromine and iodine (the HALOGENS) are the most reactive non-metallic elements. This property is linked to the fact that they are one electron short of a full octet (are highly ELECTRONEGATIVE), and so react more readily than comparable elements. Note that it is not electronegativty alone that determines how reactive the element is, but rather it is one important feature in a myriad of contributors.

What does the abbreviation SR refer to in chemistry?
Sr is the abbreviation for Strontium - a chemical element (symbolSr and atomic number38). An alkaline earth metal, strontium is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element that is highly reactive chemically.
What is the most chemically reactive metal?
The most chemically reactive metals are the alkali metals. Francium is the most reactive of these and of all metal (although it is present on earth only in exceedingly small quantities, due to its radioactivity).The most reactive element available in useful quantities in Flourine.
What element has the least nonmetallic character?
Assuming that "least nonmetallic" means the same as "most metallic", francium.
What is is the most reactive nonmetallic element?
Fluorine
When is an element said to be chemically reactive?
An element is said to be chemically reactive when it combines with another element. These two elements will create a new compound.
