The noble gases have completely filled the outer shell of electrons; in the group 17 the situation is different.

How reactive is the boron family?

The boron family is moderately reactive. Boron itself is a relatively unreactive element, while the elements below it in the group, such as aluminum, can be more reactive due to their ability to form stable compounds with other elements.

Are Group 8A element unreactive elements known as transition metals?

Group 8A, also known as group 18, are very non-reactive. However, they are all gases, not transition metals. Transition metals are the large family of elements in the middle of the table in between groups 2 and 13 (2A and 3A). Group 8A are the noble gases.


If you were looking for a very reactive atom would you look in group 1 or 18?

You would look for a very reactive atom in group 1, also known as the alkali metals. These elements have one electron in their outermost shell, making them highly reactive as they easily lose this electron to form positive ions. Group 18, on the other hand, consists of the noble gases which are highly stable and unreactive due to having a full outer shell of electrons.
