Helium is least reactive element.It forms no compounds.Platinum is least reactive metal.
Noble gasses are least reactive of all the elements. So the least reactive element in the period 4 is Krypton. It is a noble gas with an atomic number of 36.
The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.
Gold is the least metal reactive in the list, followed by copper, magnesium, and then potassium. Gold is known for its resistance to corrosion and chemical reactions, making it one of the least reactive metals.
Boron is more reactive with other elements compared to carbon. Boron is a metalloid that tends to form covalent compounds in compounds such as borides. Its reactivity is influenced by its electron configuration and small atomic size.
Rubidium is the least reactive, followed by potassium, and then lithium. This trend is due to the increase in reactivity as you move down the alkali metal group on the periodic table, with larger atoms having more easily discarded outer electrons, making them more reactive.
Generally, the least reactive elements are the noble gases.
Noble gases are least reactive because they have a full shell
Nobel gases.
magnesium (Mg)
The noble gases are the least reactive among all chemical elements.
8th group-nobel gases
chlorine
the noble gases are the least reactive(thats group 18) followed by group 14
The simple reason is that least reactive elements are mostly found in their native state while reactive elements are found in combined state (in form of their compounds). It is easier to extract any element in it's native or elementary form. Such elements can be easily separated from their ore. They are separated by using physical processes. Reactive elements need to be extracted from their minerals through chemical processes which are more expensive and tedious.
Their lack of reaction with other elements.
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, and argon, are the least chemically reactive elements. They have a full outer shell of electrons, making them extremely stable and unlikely to form chemical bonds with other elements.
