I think alkali is the most reactive one.
The alkali group of metals is the most active.
Alkali gases only have 1 electron needing to be removed to reach a stable noble gas configuration. Alkaline earths have two electrons. Alkali metals thus have the lower ionization energy of the two groups.
They react with water like the alkaline metal but does not change or melt with fire.The alkaline part of the name comes from the fact that these metal form alkaline solutions, when they react with water. The earth part was added to differentiate these from the group one metals. Alchemists called them earth metals because they though that their oxides were new elements.In the middle age the oxides of these metals (metals which are not known in time) are called alkaline earths: alkalinebecause these oxides react with water forming an alkaline solution and earths because in the past non-metallic compounds were called earths.
Alkali metals are metals in Group I (far left column) such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, etc. They have a valence of -1.Alkali Earth Metals are in Group II (second column from the left) such as Berylium, Magnesium, Calcium, etc. and have a valence of -2.One Hydroxide (OH-) ion will form an ionic bond with group 1 elements {Like NaOH }, and two Hydroxide ions will form an ionic bond with group 2 elements {like Ca(OH)2 }
Alkali metals similarities Alkaline earth metals 1.In both groups reactivity is increase down the group 2.Both are isolated from their salts by electrolytic method. 3.They are silvery white metals 4.In flame both group elements give different colors . 5.Both group elements soluble in liquid ammonia and give deep blue solution 6.Both are present in s-block . 7.Both are react with H and forms respective hydrides. 8.In both grope differentiating electron enters in s sub shell. 9.Both group elements have electro positive character RGUKT IIIT NUZVID: N091528
The most reactive groups are alkali metals and halogens.
The two most reactive groups of elements in the periodic table are the alkali metals and halogens.
Group 1 the Alkali Metals and Group 2 the Alkaline Metals. Group 1 is more reactive than Group 2.The three major reactive groups of elements are the alkali metals, Alkaline Earth and halogens (these groups are labeled 1 or IA, 2 or IIA, and 17 or VIIIB respectively)
Alkaline Earth Metals, Alkali Metals & Halogens tend to be the most reactive. (From groups 1,2 & 17). For example, hydrogen, francium, fluorine, bromine etc.
there are alkali metals that are the most reactive metals on the periodic table and halogens which are the most reactive nonmetals
The alkali metals are the most reactive of all groups on the periodic table. Some of the metals are lithium, potassium and sodium.
1. alkaline metals 2. alkaline earths metals
The two columns of elements in the periodic table that contain the most reactive elements are columns 1 and 17, the alkali metals and halogens respectively.
The alkali metals and the halogens are the most reactive groups and among them, francium and fluorine are the most reactive, especially with each other.
Fluorine (F) is the most reactive element. It can react with almost anything.
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
