Generally the most reactive elements in the periodic table are found in the first two (left-most) columns: the alkali metal and alkali earths.
this is called an element family because the elements in the same columns in periodic tables each have similar traits and characteristics. For example, they all have the same amount of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outer ring of an atom)
