Question

The true statement among the following is:

  1. The reactive nature of Halogens increases from top to bottom of the table.
  2. The reactive nature for Halogens decreases from top to bottom of the table.
  3. Halogens are incapable of reacting with metals.
  4. Fluorine is the most abundant element on the earth's crust.

hintHint:

Fluorine is the most reactive halogen.

The correct answer is: The reactive nature for Halogens decreases from top to bottom of the table.


    • Reactivity of halogens decreases down the group.
    • Fluorine is the most reactive halogen. It also means that chlorine is less reactive than fluorine, bromine is less reactive than chlorine and so on.
    • As we go down the group number shells keep on adding, distance from protons increases and the electrons do not much participate in reactions.
