Halogens.
The halogens are the most reactive nonmetals. They belong to Group 17 on the periodic table.
Very reactive nonmetals are called halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. Halogens readily form compounds with metals and other nonmetals due to their high electronegativity and tendency to gain electrons. They are found in Group 17 of the periodic table.
group 17 or halogens
A very reactive group of metals is the alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, while a very reactive group of nonmetals is the halogens, like chlorine and fluorine. Alkali metals have a single electron in their outermost shell, making them eager to lose that electron and achieve a stable electronic configuration. Halogens, on the other hand, have seven electrons in their outer shell and readily gain an electron to complete their octet, leading to high reactivity. This tendency to either lose or gain electrons drives their chemical reactivity.

Group 7. Fluorine, which belongs to group 7, is the most reactive element.
No, Group 8A (Noble Gases) are the least reactive nonmetals because they have a full outer shell of electrons and do not readily form chemical bonds. Group 7A (Halogens) are more reactive in comparison.
Halogens
group 17 or halogens
The group on the periodic table that contains the most reactive nonmetals is Group 17, also known as the halogens. This group includes elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, which have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
