Noble gases (group 18) are the almost nonreactive elements.

Group 1 elements are the most reactive metals. Group 17 elements are the most reactive non-metals.

Which of the following is an extreamly reactive family of elements?

The halogens are an extremely reactive family of elements in the periodic table. They have a tendency to gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell, making them highly reactive with other elements.


What are the least reactive element in the periodic table?

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.


Which group or family is nonreactive on the periodic table?

Group 8. Commonly known as noble gases. Although it is true that the higher noble gases such as Neon and Helium are nonreactive, Krypton and Xenon can form compounds due to the high amounts of electron shielding experienced by its outer shell electrons. for example, Xe2Sb2F11


Which group are highly reactive non metals on the periodic table?

The halogens are the highly reactive nonmetals on the periodic table. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, which readily form compounds with other elements due to their strong tendency to gain an electron.


Which is the most reactive gas on the periodic table?

Fluorine is the most reactive gas on the periodic table. It readily reacts with almost all other elements, including noble gases like helium.

Which of these groups in the periodic table is made from non-reactive elements?

Group 18, also called the noble gases, contains the elements that are nonreactive.


Which family is very stable and nonreactive?

Elements in group 18 of the periodic table.


Why are some elements reactive and some nonreactive - does it correlate with where they are on the table?

No it does not help with where the elements are located. Elements on the Periodic Table are organized by columns. If 2 elements are in the samecolumn they both have similar properties.


Is fluorine the most reactive element in the periodic table?

Yes, fluorine is the most reactive element on the periodic table.


The two most reactive groups of elements in the periodic table are the alkali metals and the what?

The two most reactive groups of elements in the periodic table are the alkali metals and the halogens. Halogens are nonmetals located in group 17 of the periodic table and include elements like fluorine, chlorine, and iodine.


Are the elements on group 17 on the periodic table reactive?

Yes


What are 2 elements most reactive on periodic table?

Lithium and Fluorine.


Which elements in the periodic table would be expected to be more reactive than phosphorus (P)?

Metals are more reactive elements.


What are the highest and lowest reactive elements on the periodic table?

As you move left on the periodic table, the elements get more reactive and as you move down the periodic table. Using that thinking the most reactive elements are the Alkali Earth Metals (column 1) and the most reactive element is Francium. The least reactive are the noble gases in the last column- Helium, Neon, Argon etc..


Which of the following is an extreamly reactive family of elements?

The halogens are an extremely reactive family of elements in the periodic table. They have a tendency to gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell, making them highly reactive with other elements.


What elements are reactive?

There are many reactive elements. They show up more on the upper left of the Periodic Table. Some of these are plutonium, uranium, Mercury and lead.


What is a group of fairly nonreactive elements in the pariodic table?

Noble gases form a group of fairly nonreactive elements in the periodic table. These elements have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.
