I believe because they are less reactive but more stable so it evens out and it makes it so the the less reactive it is the more stable and a better chance for that electron configuration to become more stable and less reactive so that it can build on to something bigger and better.

∙ 9y agoThe alkaline metals become more reactive as the periods go higher because of the higher and higher energy shells. It takes less energy to cause the valence electrons to transfer to other ions the higher the energy shell.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe ionization potentials of the group 2 elements decrease from the top to the bottom of a Periodic Table column because the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus and are more effectively "screened" from their attraction to the positive nucleus by the electrons in lower energy, non-valence electron "shells".

∙ 14y agoBecause they have two valence electrons to give up. Group 1 only has to lose 1.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBecause Alkali metals have a single valence electron making it very active.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause the outer cell of 1st group element has 1 electron and in 2nd group 2 electron so 1st group's element can lose their electron easily.

Are group 2 elements highly reactive?
Reactivity increases as you go down the group. Radiom is far more reactive than Beryllium.
Why group 7 elements get more reactive as you go down the group from fluorine to iodine?
There can not be any reason, because the premise is not true: Group 7 elements become less rather than more reactive from fluorine to iodine.
The least reactive metal in group 1 of the periodic table?
Francium is considered the most reactive of the group 1 elements. This is because it is the largest of all elements in group 1, therefore takes the least amount of energy to lose an electron (Group 1 elements react by losing electrons.)
Which element in group 6 is the most reactive?
Elements are more reactive as you go down the periodic table and to the left.
What makes the elements in the halogen group reactive?
they need one more electron to attain noble gas configuration and hence are highly reactive.
Why group 12 is more reactive?
The elements from the group 12 are not the most reactive chemical elements.
Which group is more reactive on the periodic table group 1 or 2?
Group 1 elements are more reactive than that of group 2 elements.
Would a metal in Group 13 be more or less reactive that a metal in Group 1?
less reactive.beacuse group-1 elements are the most reactive elements.
What kind of group one are the most reactive?
The elements in group 1 become more reactive as you go down the group.
Would a metal in group 13 be more or less reactive than in group one?
Group 1 will be more reactive than group 13 elements
Would a metal in group 13 be more reactive than a metal in group one?
Group 1 will be more reactive than group 13 elements
Are groups 1 and 2 more or less reactive in periodic table?
Group 1 elements are the most reactive among metals, followed by group 2 elements.
Which elements are more reactive with oxygen group 1 or group 11?
Group 1, the alkali metals, are much more reactive with oxygen than Group 11, the coinage metals.
Are group 2 elements highly reactive?
Reactivity increases as you go down the group. Radiom is far more reactive than Beryllium.
Why group 7 elements get more reactive as you go down the group from fluorine to iodine?
There can not be any reason, because the premise is not true: Group 7 elements become less rather than more reactive from fluorine to iodine.
The least reactive metal in group 1 of the periodic table?
Francium is considered the most reactive of the group 1 elements. This is because it is the largest of all elements in group 1, therefore takes the least amount of energy to lose an electron (Group 1 elements react by losing electrons.)
What elements are more reactive than most?
Caesium and francium, in group one or in group 7 iodine or astatine.
