The right most column, Group 8*, or the noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table these are:
- platinum
- gold
- mercury
- thallium
- lead
- bismuth
- polonium

∙ 13y agoThe least reactive metals are the platinum metals and wolfram - the most unreactive metal is gold (after Pauling); the bottom left metals (caesium, francium, barium, etc.) reacts more - the most reactive metal is francium.

Which is the least reactive sodium aluminum or magnesium?
Sodium, aluminum, and magnesium are metals. For metals, reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across the periodic table. The least reactive of those three is therefore aluminum.
What part of the periodic table is the most reactive and least reactive?
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
Most reactive group in periodic table?
The most reactive goup in the metals is the Alkali metals (Group I) The most reactive non-metal group is Group 17 or VIIA) the Halogens. It is difficult to say which of the two groups is more reactive. Chemists will say that Flourine is the most reactive element. Note that Group 18 is the least reactive, most stable.
Is silver more reactive then magnesium?
No. Magnesium is far more reactive than silver. Silver is one of the least reactive metals.
Does group 7A of the periodic tables contain the least reactive nonmetals?
The halogen group is the MOST reactive nonmetal group.
What are the ranks of the periodic table families from most to least reactive?
Most reactive metals are alkali metals, most reactive nonmetalas are halogens.Least reactive metals are platinum metals; least reactive nonmetals are noble gases.
What is the Least active metal?
the least active metals are at the bottom of the periodic table
Which is the least reactive sodium aluminum or magnesium?
Sodium, aluminum, and magnesium are metals. For metals, reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across the periodic table. The least reactive of those three is therefore aluminum.
What two groups are less reactive?
Inert gasses are completely non reactive. The next least reactive would be some where in the middle of the periodic table (probably precious metals).
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..
What is the lightest metal in th periodic table of elements?
Lithium, (Li) element three and the least reactive of the alkali metals group.
What part of the periodic table is the most reactive and least reactive?
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
Least reactive metal in group 1 of the periodic table?
the least reactive METAL is lithium!!
What happens to the reactivity of metals from left or right across the periodic table?
Reactivity decreases from left to right.Alkali metals on the left are most reactive.While noble gases on the right are least reactive.
Are the least reactive metals easier to extract?
NO Gold and platinum are not revy reactive.
Are Noble gases most reactive element on the periodic table?
No. They are the least because their energy levels are full.
Is potassium the least reactive metal?
No, Potassium is one of the most reactive metals.
