If you're referring to the Periodic Table, the group one and two elements (Alkali and Alkaline earth metals) react with water very vigorously, often explosively in the Alkali metals. The transition metals react VERY slowly, as water can be considered an oxidising agent, to form the respective oxides. This can be seen in Iron(III) oxide, as the red rust is formed when iron metal is left in contact with moisture.

What chemical family is most reactive?

The alkali metals, found in Group 1 of the periodic table, are the most reactive chemical family. They readily lose their outer electron to form cations, leading to highly exothermic reactions with water and oxygen.

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.
