If I recall correctly, it's because they don't have any electrons in their atoms. Atoms react in order to get a full set of 8 electrons, and the less electrons an atom has, the more likely they are to react.

What element from Group 1A is most reactive?

francium


Which element in 1a group is more reactivity?

Francium(Fr) is the most reactive element in Group 1A . The least reactive is Lithium(Li) The element become increasingly reactive 'down' Group 1A. NB You will NOT find francium in a school lab. for two reasons. 1. It explosive when in contact with water. 2. It is 'Radio-active' and radio-active matter has to be kept in special conditions.


What Group 1A elements is the most reactive cesium potassium lithium or sodium?

Cesium is the most reactive Group 1A element because it has the lowest ionization energy and the largest atomic radius, making it more willing to donate its outermost electron in a chemical reaction compared to potassium, lithium, and sodium.
