Why are family elements so reactive?
As with all families, these elements share traits. They are very reactive. Why? They all have one electron in their outer shell. That's one electron away from being happy (full shells). When you are that close to having a full shell, you want to bond with other elements and lose that electron. An increased desire to bond means you are more reactive. In fact, when you put some of these pure elements in water, they will cause huge explosions.

The Elements of Life website:
Some elements that are important for animals (including people) are calcium (Ca), for bones and muscles, chlorine (Cl) for digesting food, fluorine (F) for tooth enamel and iron (Fe) to help blood carry oxygen around the body. Plants also need elements to survive and grow including magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (Cl) that help plants convert the Sun’s energy into food. Some plants, such as grass, contain silica (Si), which makes them very strong.
