Question

What is the reactivity trend of halogens?

Answer 1

Reactivity trends of halogen:

1) Melting point and boiling points increased down the
group

2) Colour becomes darker.
E.g. Fluorine (pale yellow)
Chlorine (yellowish-green)
Bromine (reddish-brown)
Iodine (purplish-black)
Astatine (black)

3) The reactivity decreases down the group.
Reactivity:
F > Cl > Br > I > At
