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.
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.
The most reactive metals are the alkali metals in group 1a.
The alkali metals group, located in Group 1 of the periodic table, is the most reactive group of elements. These elements have one electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive as they seek to lose this electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
One example of a block element that is not located in group 1A or group 2A in the periodic table is carbon, which is a p-block element. Carbon is located in group 4A (14) of the periodic table and is known for its diverse bonding properties, forming a wide range of compounds.
This is a consequence of the law of periodicity of chemical elements.

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.
