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.
