Answer:

Cs

Step-by-step explanation:

This element is the farthest right, and lowest meaning that its reactivity is very high.

1. valence electrons and electronegativity

2. Both reactivity and electronegativity decrease down a group.

3. Electronegativity decreases down a group and reactivity increases down a group.

4. The number of valence electrons increases from left to right.

5. Cs
