Generally speaking, fluorine and caesium are the most reactive elements. But Mitch is right  when thinkiing about elements of lower reactivity, eg lithium reacts faster with nitrogen than with oxygen though nitrogen is commonly thought as unreactive.

whats the most reactive non metal?

are you talking about relative rate or reaction or reactivity or vigorousness (if that's a word) of the rxn?  ???

The world is like an atom. The not-quite-as-intelligent people are the nucleus all packed together sharing a common...everything. We, we are the electrons. Granted we're not as smart as these engineers and what-not so we're most likely in the first orbital, but we're the electrons of this giant atom. We all have differing intelligences and ideas and we are separated from the nucleus which makes us better because no one really cares about how a nucleus acts. It's the electrons that make chemistry, except for nuclear chem, of course, which I am a big fan of.
