The inceasing order of reactivity among ...

The inceasing order of reactivity among group 1 elements is `Li lt Na lt K lt Rb lt CS` whereas that among group 17 is `F gt Cl gt Br gt I`. Explain .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Group I elements are electropositive in which IE decrases down the group.Therefore reactivity increases down the group. Group 17 elements are electronegative which show strong electron accepting capacity. This property depends on their elctrode potentials which very as `F gt Cl gt Br gt I`. So the reactivity follows the same order.
