the reactivity of depends on the number of its outer shell electrons. one all outer shell electrons are there then there is little reactivity. If the atomic number is 19 then the element will 19 protons and 19 electrons. this means it has 2 electrons in the 1st shell 8 in the second 8 in the 3rd and 1 in the last. as it only has one it will be very reactive =)
