Noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table because they have a full valence shell.

The least reactive elements in the Periodic Table are the noble gases or sometimes the inert gases. These are the elements of Group 18, and they have full valence shells. They are not interested in loaning out or borrowning electrons, and are very stable.

The gases helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon make up the inert gases. Wikipedia has a nice post on these interesting elements, and a link is provided.

yes


Are Noble gases most reactive element on the periodic table?

No. They are the least because their energy levels are full.


Is fluorine the most reactive element in the periodic table?

Yes, fluorine is the most reactive element on the periodic table.


What are the highest and lowest reactive elements on the periodic table?

As you move left on the periodic table, the elements get more reactive and as you move down the periodic table. Using that thinking the most reactive elements are the Alkali Earth Metals (column 1) and the most reactive element is Francium. The least reactive are the noble gases in the last column- Helium, Neon, Argon etc..


Where is the most reactive metal on the periodic table located?

This element is francium in the first group of periodic table.


What is the least reactive element in the group 2 of the periodic table of elements?

The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.
