Reactivity increases as you go down the group. Radiom is far more reactive than Beryllium.
Group 2 elements have 2 valence electrons and tend to lose 2 electrons to keep a fully filled outer shell. They are highly reactive, but not as reactive as group 1 elements.
The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.
Nonmetal fluorine
The ist group elements Alkali metals are most active elements.
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)
They all have 2 electrons in their outermost shells, with beryllium(Be) having a electronic structure of 2.2, magnesium(Mg) having 2.8.2, calcium(Ca) having 2.8.8.2 and so on. This means that they have similar chemical reactivity.
Group 1 elements are more reactive than that of group 2 elements.
The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.
The difference between group 1 and group 2 metals is that group 1 metals have ONE valence electron and group 2 have TWO valence electrons. This makes a great difference in how they react chemically with other elements and compounds.
Group 1 elements are the most reactive among metals, followed by group 2 elements.
Groups 1 and 2 are highly reactive.It consist of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.They react violently with water.
S block has the most reactive elements. The groups 1 and 2 belongs to the s block.
Nonmetal fluorine
The ist group elements Alkali metals are most active elements.
As group 2 is a group of quite reactive elements, most elements will react with them. However, as usual the inert gases of Group 0 will not react as they are highly unreactive.
Elements in the second group have 2 outer shell electrons and also very reactive. What are they called?
The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.
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)
