Nonmetals having high positive value of standard reduction potential are found to be reactive. Halogens have high value of standard reduction potential, hence they are reactive nonmetals. Halogens belong to group 17 of the periodic table. read more
For example, Te, or Tellurium, is in group 16 and row 5. The elements in row 7 are the most reactive, but technically Tellurium, since it is the farthest down nonmetal on the periodic table, would be the most reactive nonmetal, technically making group 16 the most reactive row of the nonmetals. read more
