Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group 7A, also known as the halogens, contains the most reactive nonmetals. This is due to their strong electronegativity and high affinity for gaining an electron to achieve a full valence shell. The reactivity of the halogens increases as you go down the group, making fluorine the most reactive element in the group.
