Q

Why do group 1 elements become more reactive as you go down the group

A

Because the outermost electrons is in an shell which is further from a nucleus so the attraction between the outermost electron and the nucleus becomes less. So the bigger the group 1 atom, the weaker the attraction and the more easily the electron is lost. (So it wants to to react quicker and is more reactive)
