Elements that are 'highly' reactive (as opposed to inert, such as a noble gas) are dangerous because they readily and easily create chemical reactions with other elements, potentially quickly altering a substance (including substances that make up a human body) and potentially explosively.
They can cause burns, consume flesh, or explode if not safely handled.

Why are the halogen elements so dangerous in their uncombined forms?
They are dangerous because in their uncombined forms they are highly reactive. Hope this helped ^,..,^
Are iron and oxygen highly reactive elements?
No. They are mildly reactive.
Why do you not find pure samples of highly reactive element in the ground?
Being very reactive these elements react quickly and form compounds.
Is carbon reactive or non-reactive?
Carbon is considered highly reactive. This is due to the fact that it can react with many elements on Earth.
Are the group 17 elements highly reactive or nonreactive?
Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
Why are the elements Na and Cl2 extremely dangerous?
because they are both highly reactive elements so they will react with anything.

Highly reactive because they only have 7 electrons. They need 8 to be a stable element.
What makes halogens stand out from all of the other elements?
They are highly reactive
What is the highly reactive family of elements with 7 valence electrons.?
halogen
What is highly reactive family of elements with 7 valence electrons?
halogen
How are group 1 elements stored?
group 1 elements are stored in oil because they are highly reactive elements.
What do stable elements and highly reactive elements have in common?
Well for starters, they're elements. Thanks for stating the answer in your question.
