      Erm, I think that’s one for a chemist to answer rather than a physicist, I’m afraid. Mind you, I did just ask my husband (who is a chemist) and was met with a totally blank look, a shrug of the shoulders and “well, I don’t know” mumbled at me!!

      So I think the point here is that your question is an excellent one but is beyond my ability or my husband’s to answer sensibly!

      I didn’t know that one either :/ chemistry was my worst subject in school!

      This video is pretty interesting to watch though:

      (And google says the most reactive chemical is fluorine!)
