Is group 1 a reactive metal or nonmetal, is it highly reactive, or is it filled with the least reactive elements? Explain why the elements from group 1 are either reactive, highly reactive, or least reactive.
Group 1 is a reactive metal. The elements from group 1 are highly reactive because they have a single valence electron in their outermost shell. This makes them highly reactive because they are willing to give up their electron to form a chemical bond with other elements. The elements from group 1 are also the least reactive because they are the most electronegative elements in the periodic table. This means that they are more likely to attract electrons from other elements, rather than give up their own.
