The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Which of the following Group 17 elements is the least reactive
a) Flourine
b) Chlorine
c) Astatine
d) Iodine
Answer: c) Astatine
Explanation:
Halogen is the name given to Group 17 family with general electronic configuration of which have 7 valence electrons and thus easily gain one electron to attain stable configuration.
As we move down the group from flourine to chlorine to bromine to iodine to astatine , the valence shell moves farther from nucleus and thus tendency to accept the electron decreases and thus reactivity also decreases.
Thus Astatine is the least reactive of all.
