Which elements are most likely to react with other elements?

The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.


Which of the following groups contains the most reactive elements?

Group 7: Fluorine is the most reactive element.


How are group 1 elements different from the group 18 elements?

The difference between group 1 and group 2 metals is that group 1 metals have ONE valence electron and group 2 have TWO valence electrons. This makes a great difference in how they react chemically with other elements and compounds.


Most reactive group in periodic table?

The most reactive goup in the metals is the Alkali metals (Group I) The most reactive non-metal group is Group 17 or VIIA) the Halogens. It is difficult to say which of the two groups is more reactive. Chemists will say that Flourine is the most reactive element. Note that Group 18 is the least reactive, most stable.


Why are the elements in group 1 never found in nature?

Because they are highly reactive with many other elements.


What are the most reactive elements on the periodic table?

The alkali metals and the halogens are the most reactive groups and among them, francium and fluorine are the most reactive, especially with each other.


Is lithium reactive to other elements?

Yes. Lithium is very reactive to other elements.


The least reactive metal in group 1 of the periodic table?

Francium is considered the most reactive of the group 1 elements. This is because it is the largest of all elements in group 1, therefore takes the least amount of energy to lose an electron (Group 1 elements react by losing electrons.)


Why do you not find pure elements in group 1 and 7?

they are very reactive and would probably react with other elements before we find them.


Are Group 8A element unreactive elements known as transition metals?

Group 8A, also known as group 18, are very non-reactive. However, they are all gases, not transition metals. Transition metals are the large family of elements in the middle of the table in between groups 2 and 13 (2A and 3A). Group 8A are the noble gases.


What do you know about the elements that are in the same vertical column?

They are called groups and have similar properties with the other elements in that group.


How reactive is neon?

It is not reactive at all. It will not combine with other elements.
