The correct response is: An element will be more reactive if it has a very high or low electronegativity.
This is because elements with very high electronegativity (such as fluorine) tend to be highly reactive as they strongly attract electrons, while elements with very low electronegativity (such as alkali metals) also tend to be reactive, as they readily lose electrons.
