These are the highly reactive elements located in Group 1 of the periodic table. These elements have one electron in their outer

energy level which makes them highly reactive with water and halogens.

"These" should be referring to Alkali Metals.

They include metals such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium etc.
They're classified as Group I elements because they all have one outmost shell electrons. This is why these metals are so reactive because they only need to lose one electron in order to achieve the octet of electrons (or duplet for Lithium), which means complete outmost shell electrons (2 or the 1st shell, others are 8). 

The reason why they're especially reactive to Halogens (Group VII) elements are that Halogens have 7 outmost shell electrons, which only needs one more electron in order to get to the octet of electrons. So, if an Alkali metal reacts with a Halogen, the metal would give one of their electrons to the Halogen, that way, both of the elements can have an octet of electrons (or duplet).

What is an enzyme? Describe using the words enzyme, catalyst, substarte, and active site.
fgiga [73]
An enzyme is a catalyst which means it changes the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs. It never alters the reaction in any way or changes nay chemical properties, only the speed at which it occurs and is completely absorbed in the meantime. The substrates that are reacting just have their reaction faster.
