Table given below shows a part of the periodic table

Using this table explain why
Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The reactivity of non-metals depends upon the tendency to gain electrons. Since fluorine is smaller in size and have more effective nuclear charge as compared to chlorine, therefore, it accepts the electron more easily than chlorine and thus is more reactive.
