What is the most reactive metal and the most reactive nonmetal?

Answer 1

Actually, like human nature is dominant of on another. In the same way, metals and non-metals are also dominant over one another. The metals and non-metals have a tendency of displacing another metal or non-metal from its salt solution or any other compound. According to this property of theirs, they are classified as more or less reactive.

Answer 2

The reactivity of elements can be deduced from the reactivity series. For example, sodium is "higher" than zinc in the reactivity series, hence sodium is more reactive than zinc. The reactivity of elements are also linked to their positions in the Periodic Table. For example, in group I (alkali metals), the reactivity increases down the group. On the other hand, for group VII (halogens), the reactivity decreases down the group.

Answer 3

The most reactive metal is francium, which is highly unstable and reacts vigorously with water. The most reactive nonmetal is fluorine, which is a highly reactive and corrosive element that readily forms compounds with other elements.

Answer 4

reactive metals react with water and acids,but the non reactive doesnt.

dude that isn't a proper answer

Answer 5

the most reactive non-radioactive (stable) metal is Cesium(Cs) while the most reactive non-metal is Fluorine (F).

Answer 6

Are reactive METALS METALS or nonMETALS? The answer to your question is yes.
