The characteristics that determine an element’s reactivity are primarily **valence electrons and group**.
The reactivity of an element often depends on the number of valence electrons it has, as this influences how readily the element will form bonds with other elements. Additionally, elements in the same group (or column) of the periodic table typically have similar chemical properties and reactivity due to having the same number of valence electrons.
Therefore, the correct response is:
**valence electrons and group**.
