What part of the periodic table is the most reactive and least reactive?

The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.


Are nonmetals more electronegative than metals?

Yes, nonmetals are generally more electronegative than metals. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond, and nonmetals tend to have higher electronegativities due to their higher effective nuclear charge and smaller atomic size compared to metals.


What are the least eletronegative elements in the periodic table?

The metals in the lower left corner of the periodic table are the least electronegative.


What are the general prorperties of the elemnts in the group to the right in the modern periodic table?

Non metals are present to the right side. They possess electronegative character.


Why do non metals gain electrons from metals?

Non-metals gain electrons from metals because non-metals have a higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger pull on electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons easily due to their low electronegativity, making them more likely to transfer electrons to non-metals in ionic bonding to achieve stable electron configurations.


Which is most electronegative metal?

Fluorine is the most electronegative element and not a metal. Among metals, the most electronegative is cesium.


Are nonmetals least reactive?

Some are but the most reactive are also non-metals.


What type of bonding occurs between two non metals?

when two type of non metals bond together , they always bonded by covalent bond because they have the tendency to share the electrons as all the non metals are electronegative so the process of losing and gaining cannot take place ...because in two non metals no one can lose electron so they have to share electons for example in water(H2O, CO2 etc...)
