Which of the following element is most reactive?(a) Chlorine(b) Fluorine(c) Bromine(d) IodineThe question was posed to me in my homework.Enquiry is from P-Block in chapter P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (b) Fluorine

For explanation I would say: Of all the HALOGENS, fluorine is the most reactive and hence is ALSO called super halogen. Fluorine is also the most electronegative (EN = 4.0) element in the periodic table. This INDICATES that fluorine has a high tendency to gain electrons from other elements with LOWER ELECTRONEGATIVITIES.
