Answer:
HEY MATE PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLEIST
Explanation:
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

Metal atoms lose electrons to nonmetal atoms because metals typically have relatively low ionization energies. Metals at the bottom of a group lose electrons more easily than those at the top.
