Fluorine has 7 valence electrons so it only needs one more to have the 8 it needs to be stable. This makes it very easy for fluorine to bond with almost any other element because it can easily take or share the one it needs.

What is the most reactive element in group 18?

The most active element in Group 17 of the periodic table turns out the be the most reactive element among all of the elements. It's fluorine (F), and we sometimes hear it called the "hungry wolf" of the periodic table because it is so reactive.A link is provided to the Wikipedia post of the periodic table. This table features hyperlinks as part of its makeup. Each chemical element's symbol is a link to the Wikipedia post on that element.


Which group of elements form ionic bonds?

All elements in periodic table columns 1 - 12 and 17 of a wide form periodic table usually form ionic bonds, as can all other metals and most of the elements in periodic table columns 15 and 16. This does not mean that such elements can not also form covalent bonds.
