Most strongly, I would argue that the Halogens are the family of elements that readily react with metals.

The most reactive non-metals are the halogens, group 17.


What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?

Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are so reactive that they are never found as uncombined elements in nature. They readily react with other elements to form compounds.


What elements react with metals?

Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.


Do metal react or do not react?

It depends on the specific metal and the conditions. Some metals, like alkali metals, are highly reactive and will react readily with air or water. Other metals, like gold or platinum, are much less reactive and do not readily react under normal conditions.


Elements that are active strongly nonmetallic and react readily with metals to form salts are called what?

Elements that form salts by combining with metals are called halogens. All synthetic elements are radioactive. Elements that lie along the stair step line of the periodic table are metalloids.

What elements does plutonium not react with?

Plutonium doesn't react with noble gases. Plutonium form alloys with many other metals.


Why metals like Au or Pt do not react with oxygen directly?

Au or Pt are highly stable and they are noble metals as they do not react with oxygen readily
