Some rocks are more reactive than others due to differences in their mineral composition. Rocks that contain minerals that are chemically unstable or have a greater tendency to react with other substances will be more reactive. Additionally, the presence of certain elements or ions in the rock can also make it more prone to chemical reactions.
Reactivity increases as you go down the group. Radiom is far more reactive than Beryllium.
Fluorine is more reactive than oxygen. It is the most reactive non-metal element and readily forms compounds with almost all other elements.
Elements form ions by either gaining or losing valence electrons. The elements that lose electron(s) and gain electron(s) acquire a positive charge and negative charge respectively. The elements that lose and gain the least electrons require less ionization energy, and are more reactive than elements that need to lose or gain more electrons. For instance, elements in group 1 of the Periodic Table need to lose one electron, and are more reactive than elements in group 2 that need to lose 2 electrons.
Synthetic elements can be highly reactive due to their unstable nature and tendency to decay into more stable forms through radioactive decay or by forming compounds with other elements. Some synthetic elements have very short half-lives, making them extremely reactive in the short time they exist.
Boron is more reactive with other elements compared to carbon. Boron is a metalloid that tends to form covalent compounds in compounds such as borides. Its reactivity is influenced by its electron configuration and small atomic size.
The elements from the group 12 are not the most reactive chemical elements.
Metals are more reactive elements.
Some rocks are more reactive than others due to differences in their mineral composition. Rocks that contain minerals that are chemically unstable or have a greater tendency to react with other substances will be more reactive.

An element below phosphorus in the periodic table would be expected to be more reactive. For example, sulfur is below phosphorus in the periodic table and is more reactive.
Group 1 elements are more reactive than that of group 2 elements.
Reactivity increases as you go down the group. Radiom is far more reactive than Beryllium.
The simple reason is that least reactive elements are mostly found in their native state while reactive elements are found in combined state (in form of their compounds). It is easier to extract any element in it's native or elementary form. Such elements can be easily separated from their ore. They are separated by using physical processes. Reactive elements need to be extracted from their minerals through chemical processes which are more expensive and tedious.
Chlorine is more reactive than silicon. Chlorine readily reacts with a variety of elements and compounds to form chlorides, while silicon is less reactive and forms fewer compounds with other elements.
CO is a compound, all the others are elements. A compound contains 2 or more elements.
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.
STABLE all the way!
