Question

Order of reactivity towards halogenation is F-2 - Cl-2 - Br-2 - I-2-State True or False-TrueFalse

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Bond length is inversely proportional to reactivity- It is the bond energy decides the reactivity order- Lower the bond energy more reactive will be the halogen-The bond dissociation energy of Fluorine-lower than those of-xA0- chlorine and bromine because of inter electronic repulsions present in the small atom of fluorine-Hence bond energy decreases in the order Cl2-gt-Br2-gt-F2-gt-I2Due to small size-high electronic density-greater inter electronic repulsion-lower F-x2212-F bond energy-F2 is highly reactive among halogens- Hence the order-F2-gt-Cl2-gt-Br2-gt-I2
