Metals are highly reactive because of their characteristic electronic configuration, that is, the electrons in the atoms of metals have high tendency to leave their respective atoms and react with other species which have high tendency to accept electron.

Is chlorine a very reactive non-metal or a very non-reactive non-metal?
"very reactive"
Is sodium a very reactive metal?
Yes sodium is very reactive metal.Just because of this it is kept in kerosene or some another oil because it is very reactive with oxygen and water.
What happens if francium gets on your skin?
Francium is reactive when your skin is moist because it is very reactive with water. Francium is an alkali metal and is very reactive and violent with water.
Is gold a non reactive metal?
Gold is a less reactive metal but not non-reactive; all metals are reactive.

Most chemicaly reactive metal?
Francium (Fr), an extremely rare radioactive element
Is chlorine a very reactive non-metal or a very non-reactive non-metal?
"very reactive"
What can chemicaly react with thorium?
Being a reactive metal thorium can react with the majority of nonmetals; thorium can also form many alloys.
What is a very chemical reactive metal?
Cesium is the most chemically reactive metal.
Is carbon a very reactive non metal?
Carbon is a very reactive nonmetal but not the most reactive.
Why is a moderately reactive metal used when preparing hydrogen?
A very reactive metal can react too violently with acids to be safe.
Is sodium a very reactive metal?
Yes sodium is very reactive metal.Just because of this it is kept in kerosene or some another oil because it is very reactive with oxygen and water.
Is actinium the most reactive?
Actinium is a very reactive (but not the most) metal; the Pauling electronegativity is 1,1.
Is sodium an unreactive element?
All the alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) are very reactive.
What happens if francium gets on your skin?
Francium is reactive when your skin is moist because it is very reactive with water. Francium is an alkali metal and is very reactive and violent with water.
Why is manganese very reactive?
Manganese is not particularly reactive. This is strange considering it is more electropositive than its neighbors in the periodic table.
Is phosphorus a very reactive non-metal?
Yes, very reactive, more than silicon, nitrogen and sulfur (neighbours in periodic table. But it is not the most reactive nonmetal, which is fluorine.
