Except hydrogen, elements in group 1 are very reactive at they can give away their only electron in their valence shell easily to be ionized.

Are Group 8A element unreactive elements known as transition metals?

Group 8A, also known as group 18, are very non-reactive. However, they are all gases, not transition metals. Transition metals are the large family of elements in the middle of the table in between groups 2 and 13 (2A and 3A). Group 8A are the noble gases.


What family in the Periodic table contain the most reactive metals?

Alkali metals are most reactive metals. Halogen family comprises of highly reactive non-metals.


Is most metals reactive.?

Most metals are reactive to some extent, but their reactivity varies. Some metals, such as gold and platinum, are less reactive and do not easily tarnish or corrode. Other metals, like sodium and potassium, are highly reactive and must be stored in oil to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.

Is sodium an unreactive element?

Sodium is not an unreactive element. It is a highly reactive metal that readily forms compounds with other elements, especially in the presence of water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Sodium is stored under oil to protect it from reacting with air or moisture.


Are gold and platinum reactive metals?

Gold and platinum are both considered noble metals because they are resistant to oxidation and corrosion, making them relatively unreactive compared to other metals. However, platinum can react with certain strong oxidizing agents under extreme conditions. Gold, on the other hand, is highly unreactive and does not tarnish or corrode easily.
