Answer:

Explanation:

When group 7 elements react , their atoms  gains  one  electron into their highest occupied  energy level ( outer shell) to form single negative - charged ion .

As you move down the group , the outer shells get increased  i.e an additional electron shell is added  thereby increasing the atomic radius  of the atom.  The electrons in the outer shell move further away from the nucleus as we go down the group .

Therefore the force of  attraction  between the shells and nucleus is decreased .

This makes attracting an extra electron difficult  . And so ability of the atom to attract electron to fill the outermost shell reduces which means the   reactiveness of the atom reduces.
