Want this question answered?
chlorine is more reactive than selenium. Chlorine needs one electron to form octet whereas selenium needs two.
It is the most electronegative halogen, meaning it wants electrons the most making it reactive
Group-17 are most reactive non-metals. They form halogens.
Metals: the farther to the left the more reactive they are. Group 1 metals, which include sodium and potassium, are so highly reactive that they do not exist in nature by themselves (only in compound form.) Non-metals: the farther to the right the more reactive they are *with the exception of group 18* which are the noble gases and do not react at all. The most reactive are group 17, which include fluorine and chlorine. These non-metals, like group 1, rarely exist by themselves because of their high reactivity.
Hydrogen
Fluorine is the single most reactive nonmetal, with oxygen and chlorine close behind.
Halogens: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine.
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
chlorine is more reactive than selenium. Chlorine needs one electron to form octet whereas selenium needs two.
NO!!! Chlorine is a highly reactive poisonous green gas.
"very reactive"
The halogen Group are reactive non-metals. Also oxygen in the air is a very reactive gas. Besides inhaling it to react with animal life /humans, it also reacts with metals and form many oxides.
the most reactive (non-metals) group in the periodic table is GROUP 17+they are all reactive
The highly reactive non-metals are in the halogen group. They just need one more electron to fill the octet. Therefore they are highly reactive. For example fluorine and chlorine. And the highly reactive metals are placed in the first group (alkali metals). For example Sodium and potassium.
Chlorine is a very reactive nonmetals because this element don't form any known chemical compound and need only one electron to achieve a noble gas configuration.
Gold and platinum are less reactive metals but not absolutely non-reactive.
The Halogens are most reactive non-metals. They have the most tendency to accept electrons in their respective periods. The Halogen family comprises of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine
