Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)
Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.
Complete question is;
Chemical reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group while reactivity of halogens decreases down the group. Give reasons
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
Alkali metals exhibit reactivity due to their electropositivity. Now, for alkalis, their electro-positivity increases down their group. Since their reactivity increases with increase in electropositivity, it means their reactivity also increases down the group.
Whereas, the reactivity of halogens occurs as a result of their electronegativity. Now, electronegativity for halogens decreases down the group. Since their reactivity decreases with decrease in electronegativity, it means that their reactivity will also decrease down the group.
I'm sorry but could you tell me IE2
I couldn't asks for details
