Alkaline and halogens are reactive because usually they are attracted to each other. Why? Because halogens have seven valence electrons, or electrons in their outermost shell, while alkaline metals only have one valence electron. An example of a halogen is florine and chlorine. An alkaline metal example is hydrogen and lithium.

Why are the alkali metals and Halogens among the most reactive elements on the periodic table?

because to be stable they need 8 atoms in outer energy level halogens need one so are highly reactive. alkali need 7 so are highly reactive( not as highly as halogens)
