Whilst the members of group 1 are certainly very reactive, it's not accurate to say they are 'unstable' which has many meanings, but requires us to say what it's unstable to. They are reactive because of several factors, including the low ionization energy of the metals and the high lattice energy of the compounds formed.

What are the elements in the first group that have one outer shell electron and that are very reactive called?
The elements in this group are called Alkali Metals.
Where in the periodic table are the very reactive non metals that easily form salt compounds with metals?
In the fluorine group or group 17. Its the column one from the right. The are reactive with metals because they want to gain one electron where as metals want to loose them.
What is the most reactive group one element?
Francium
Why are alkali metals more reactive than other metals?
Alkali metals are more reactive as they are in group 1 and therefore has only one valence electron. With only one valence electron, its easy for them to achieve inert configuration/ noble gas configuration, which makes them so reactive.
What chemical property of Group 1 metals that results from the atoms of each metal having only one valence electron.?
Alkali metals are very reactive.
What is the similarities between alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
AM are in group one and are very reactive, unstable, and has one electron in the outer shell, where as in AEM they are in group two and have 2 electrons in the outer shell.
Which group metals are very reactive with one electron in the outer energy level?
Alkali metals
Why is it a bad idea to store potassium in water?
potassium is a group one metal. Group one metals can be explosively reactive with water (they are very reactive and dangerous) i think tjey woyld be better stored ib oil
What are the elements in the first group that have one outer shell electron and that are very reactive called?
The elements in this group are called Alkali Metals.
What kind of group one are the most reactive?
The elements in group 1 become more reactive as you go down the group.
What is the most reactive group on the left side?
The most reactive group in the periodic table is group one, the alkali metals.
Why is chlorine is so reactive?
Chlorine's structure makes it very reactive (it is in group VII of the Periodic Table and therefore needs to gain one electron in order to become stable)!
Why primary RNA is unstable?
Uracil doesn't make RNA unstable. In fact, since it is one of the 4 Nitrogen bases that make up the nucleotides in RNA it is part of a building block of RNA. It helps keep RNA together. I hope that answers your question.
What are the characteristics of the alkali group in the periodic table?
They are very reactive cos they only have one electron in their outer shell.
Would a metal in group 13 be more or less reactive than in group one?
Group 1 will be more reactive than group 13 elements
Would a metal in group 13 be more reactive than a metal in group one?
Group 1 will be more reactive than group 13 elements
Where in the periodic table are the very reactive non metals that easily form salt compounds with metals?
In the fluorine group or group 17. Its the column one from the right. The are reactive with metals because they want to gain one electron where as metals want to loose them.
