  • Name a group of metals that is very reactive on the periodic table. Explain why this group is so reactive?
    Alkali Metals OR Alkaline Earth Metals. In order to become stable, these metals react violently while donating their electrons.
  • Name a group of nonmetals that is very reactive on the periodic table. Explain why this group is so reactive?
    The Halogens. In order to become stable, these nonmetals react vigorously while trying to take more electrons from other atoms.
  • Which group on the periodic table contains all very unreactive elements? Why are they so unreactive?
    The Noble Gases. These are unreactive because they are already stable with a full valence shell of electrons and so they don't need to react with other atoms.
