Noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table because they have a full valence shell.

The least reactive elements in the Periodic Table are the noble gases or sometimes the inert gases. These are the elements of Group 18, and they have full valence shells. They are not interested in loaning out or borrowning electrons, and are very stable.

The gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon make up the inert gases. Wikipedia has a nice post on these interesting elements, and a link is provided.

What is the least reactive element in the group 2 of the periodic table of elements?

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.
