Best Answer

Neon completely filled orbitals / energy levels. It has 8 valence electrons and have stable electronic configuration. Hence it is chemically inert and generally do not form compounds under normal conditions.

Neon is not the least reactive.... helium is.

Which is more reactive lithium in group 1 or neon in group 18?

neon is a noble gas that will not react with anything -- any other element except helium is more reactive than neon! With lithium, quite a reactive metal, it is certainly more reactive than neon.


What element is most reactive with neon?

Neon is a "noble gas," and is chemically inert. Thus, without a lot of chemical trickery, there is no element that naturally reacts with neon.
