Group 2 elements, known as alkaline earth metals, are reactive due to their tendency to lose two electrons and form stable cations. Group 7 elements, or halogens, are highly reactive nonmetals that readily gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell. The reactivity of these groups is influenced by their electron configurations and the energy required to achieve stability. Consequently, both groups participate in vigorous chemical reactions, often forming ionic compounds.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the halogen group fairly unusual?
It really isn't unusual....it is unique in that the elements have seven valence electrons and all are rather reactive; especially fluorine, which is the most reactive element.
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.
What type of element is the most reactive of all nonmetals?
Fluroine is the most reactive non-metal.
Which group of metals is highly reactive?
Group 1 on the periodic table, known as the alkali metals, are the most reactive group of metals. They all share the chemical property of having just 1 valence electron. First ionization energies for these elements is quite low, and as you go down the group from top to bottom it gets lower. The alkali metals are so reactive that they do not exist elementally in nature; only in compounds. Sodium and potassium are the most common. Francium is the rarest.
Are the elements in group 18 reactive?
all the elements of group 18 are Nobel gases. They are very very less reactive.
What is the lightest reactive element?
Hydrogen is not only the lightest element of all, it is also very reactive.
Why is the halogen group fairly unusual?

Why is group 1 the most reactive element?
All metals are highly reactive because of their properties. As you move left on a period while moving down you move close to Francium (most-metallic). Since group 1 is the most farthest left group, it is the most metallic, therefore the most reactive.
The least reactive metal in group 1 of the periodic table?
The least reactive metal in Group 1 of the periodic table is francium. Francium is a highly radioactive and rare element that has very little practical use due to its extreme reactivity with other elements.
Is chlorine one of the most reactive of all elements?
Chlorine is a Highly reactive element.
What type of element is the most reactive of all nonmetals?
Fluroine is the most reactive non-metal.
What is the reactivity of caesium?
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
What is the most reactive group of metals in the periodic table is the?
The Alkali metals are the most reactive group of metals in the Periodic Table. Of these Francium is the most reactive metal of all.
Is iodine a nobel gas?
Iodine is not a "nobel" gas or even a noble gas but rather a nonmetal element that is not a gas at all at standard temperature and pressure, but a solid instead. -- Unlike the elements in the noble gas group such as neon, which are chemically very unreactive, iodine is quite reactive, like the other elements in its group such as fluorine and chlorine.
What family of the most reactive group of metals in the periodic table?
The Alkali metals are the most reactive group of metals in the Periodic Table. Of these Francium is the most reactive metal of all.
Which group of metals is highly reactive?
