They can be both. PTFE and Polyethylene are very inert. Poly(acrylic acid) is very reactive.
No, because alkanes are saturated, meaning they don't have any double bonds. Therefore there are no spare bonds to form polymers, which are plastics. Remember, monomers are single reactive molecules, and because alkanes have only one bond, they aren't very reactive and it takes a lot of energy to break them apart! Hope this helps!! :)
Proactive. Being proactive means taking action before a situation arises, while being reactive means responding to a situation after it has occurred.
Chlorine is a highly reactive element. It readily reacts with other elements to form compounds, such as sodium chloride (table salt) or hydrochloric acid.
Gold and silver are noble metals; gold is not so reactive, silver is more reactive.
Bromine is more reactive than xenon. Bromine is a halogen and readily reacts with other elements to form compounds, while xenon is a noble gas and is generally unreactive.
Unreactive
Mostly it is unreactive.
They are generally unreactive as their orbitals are completely filled.
No. Lithium is highly reactive.
Nobel gases are very unreactive.

they are unreactive as they have a full outer shell of electrons

It doesn't. Lead isn't terribly reactive, and gold is very unreactive.
Thallium is not as reactive as the lighter memebers of group 13. It dissolves slowly in acids.
No. argon is chemically unreactive due to the presence of completely filled orbitals.
