Magnesium, according to its relative position on the table w/respect these other elements. (Radium is not a noble gas, Radon is, but is not mentioned in this list)

The C-C bond is the least reactive. those bonds is somewhat non polar because of the fact 2 carbon atoms are in touch. they have a similar electronegativity and the intermolecular distance would be very close. as a result, it take very extreme power to interrupt those bond, as a result making it least reactive. One would argue that a similar form of reasoning could be utilized to H-H bond. H is a lot smaller than C, so it rather is somewhat ordinary to set off a dipole 2nd interior the H-H bond, making it extra reactive.

radium, it is a noble gas which are very unreactive
