What is the most active group of nonmetals?

The most active group of nonmetals are those in Group 17, and these are the halogens. The list is headed by fluorine, which is the most reactive element of the group and of the Periodic Table as a whole.


Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?

No, atoms of nonmetals usually gain electrons when they combine with other atoms. Nonmetals have a tendency to attract electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by forming covalent bonds with other nonmetals or by gaining electrons to form anions.


Do atoms of nonmetals lose protons when they form ionic bonds?

No, atoms of nonmetals do not lose protons when they form ionic bonds. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, becoming negatively charged ions (anions) in ionic bonds.


Who has the most active group of nonmetals noble gases alkaline earth halogens alkali metals?

The halogens have the most active group of nonmetals. They are highly reactive due to their incomplete outer electron shells, which makes them eager to gain an electron to achieve stability. This reactivity is why halogens are often found bonded to other elements in nature.


Where is the most active metal located on the periodic table Where is the most active nonmetal located?

The most active metal is francium (Fr). It is located farthest to the left and at the bottom. The most active nonmetal is fluorine (F). It is located at the top of Group 17 (the halogens).
