Answer:

Group 7 or the Halogens

Step-by-step explanation:

The halogens occupies the 7th group on the periodic table. The group is made of F, Cl , Br, I and At.

The elements in this group are the most reactive of all elements. They are very reactive because they have just 7 electrons in their outermost shell and they only require an electron to complete their electronic configuration to produce an octet which typically mimics the stable group VIII elements.

This makes them very highly reactive.
