Why is fluorine the most

Why is fluorine the most reactive non metal?

flourine has the smallest

flourine has the smallest atomic radius of an atom that is not an inert gas. Therefore, it is easier for it to get closer to other atom's electons then the other atom can, and ergo, it can snatch them away. This causes a release of potential energy which is observed as a reaction. A Francium Flourine reaction would be a dream to some... it'd be spectacular.

Because it is the most

Because it is the most electronegative element on the periodic table, it goes like this, from left to right and botom to top,(Less to more) and the noble gas doesnt count because they have 8 electrons on their last orbitals, this makes them non-reactive.

Hope it helps you
