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. The bottom elements of the inert gases are highly reactive.
  4. Inert gases are the most reactive elements in the periodic table.

hintHint:

Down the group the atomic radius increases in size.

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


    • The reactivity of halogen decreases down the group.
    • Down the group the atomic radius increases in size with an increase of electronic energy levels.
    • As the size increases it becomes difficult for the element to gain electron.
