    Active metals are those metals in the group 1 of the periodic table.

    Electronegativity is the trend to atract electrons.

    Active metals have few valence electron, because their last shell is of the kind ns^1 or ns^2

    Then, these atoms do not trend to attract electrons. The most electronegative atomos are those who have 7 valence elecfrons; this is their last shell is of the kind ns^7, because when they attract one electron to its valence shell they will complete 8 electrons which is the most stable configuration.
