TRUE... Just Thank Tae.. ^_^
Up until "with oxygen" you were doing so well, though it should be emphasized that while halogens are quite reactive generally, halons are pretty inert. Halons which reach the upper atmosphere could break down under ultraviolet light, releasing halogen radicals, for which "highly reactive" is far too mild a term. However, they don't really do much with diatomic oxygen (though they do catalyze the decomposition of ozone into diatomic oxygen).
Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 17 (halogens) in the periodic table contain elements that are highly reactive and are never found in their free state in nature. Alkali metals readily react with water or air, while halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that form compounds with other elements quickly.
Halogens are all non-metals, they are all very reactive, and they are all colorful.
because to be stable they need 8 atoms in outer energy level halogens need one so are highly reactive. alkali need 7 so are highly reactive( not as highly as halogens)
Germanium is not highly reactive under normal conditions. It is a metalloid that is more reactive than silicon but less reactive than metals like lithium or sodium. Germanium does react with strong oxidizing agents or halogens but is relatively stable in air.

all of the halogens: bromine, fluorine, oxygen, chlorine and iodine. and it is highly reactive with water.
Halogens.
Halogens have high reactivity because they have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This reactivity decreases as you move down the group from fluorine to iodine.

Group 17 (known as Halogens)
Halogens are highly reactive chemical elements.
Halogens are all non-metals, they are all very reactive, and they are all colorful.
Halogens, such as fluorine, chlorine, and bromine, are highly reactive non-metal elements that readily form salts with metals. They easily gain an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell and form ionic compounds with metals.
