Best Answer

It is because of the difference in electronegativies between the elements. Groups 6 and 7 typically have large electronegativities and therefore attract electrons to them, while metals generally have a low electronegativity and therefore don't hold their outer shell electrons as strongly. The difference in electronegativities has to be above 2.0 in most cases before it can be considered as an ionic bond.

What happen if there is Steric effects?

Steric hinderance is related to the 3D shape of a molecule. Steric hinderance means that in the 3D shape there are large portions of a molecule in close proximity and it is not energetically favorable. An ethyl group and a butyl group on the parent chain if they are on, for example, the hexane parent chain on carbons 2 and 3 respectively, they would like to be as far apart as possible not in close proximity. It all revolves around how much electrons there are in a small area. The more the more energy and that is less favorable.


What are the most reactive families on the periodic table and why are they the most reactive?

The alkali metals Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium cesium and Francium is the most reactive group of metals. They are this way because they only need to lose one electron to gain a stable octet which is very favorable energetically. The most reactive group of non-metals is the halogens, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. These are the exact opposite. They are extremely reactive because they only need to gain one electron to gain a stable octet which is again, highly energetically favorable.
