Yes!!! Agreed Chlorine gas is a very reactive non-metal.
Fluorine, which is in the same group is even more reactive non-metal. Fluorine is often nicknamed the 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' of the elements, because of its high degree of reactivity.
In the lab. take a gas jar full of chlorine, and place a pellet of sodium metal in it. They will immediately react to form sodium chloride (NaCl) common table salt.
Fluorine and Chlorine
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are some examples of reactive nonmetals. They are located in Group 17 (halogens) on the periodic table and tend to readily gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Fluorine, oxygen, chlorine.
Fluorine Chlorine Iodine Bromine Astatine
The halides (Group VII): fluorine, chlorine, bromine, & iodine.
Chlorine is a very reactive nonmetal because it has a high electronegativity and a tendency to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes it highly reactive with other elements in order to attain a full outer electron shell. Additionally, chlorine is a diatomic molecule (Cl2), which also contributes to its reactivity.
The Halogens are the most reactive non-metals. However, their reactivity decreases as you go down the group. Most reactive Fluorine>Chlorine>Bromine>Iodine>Astatine Least reactive. However, Astatine is not fully characterised because it is radio-active, and consequently is not found in open(school) labs.
halogen
It is not true; many metals are very reactive and several nonmetals are nonreactive.
Fluorine and oxygen are the most chemically reactive nonmetals. Fluorine is the most reactive nonmetal, readily reacting with almost all other elements, while oxygen is highly reactive and forms compounds with most elements in the periodic table.
Yes, chlorine is chemically reactive. It is a highly reactive nonmetal and readily forms compounds with other elements.
The name of the Chlorine family is the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. They are highly reactive nonmetals with similar chemical properties.
