Answer» Answer: The most reactive kind of metallic ELEMENT is an ALKALI metal of group 1 (e.g., sodium or potassium); this is because such an atom has only a SINGLE valence electron; during the FORMATION of an ionic bond which provides the necessary ionization energy, this one valence electron is easily lost to form a positive ION |
