Best Answer

Astatine is reactive as a halogen; some compounds are HAt, NaAt, MgAt2, CAt4, AtBr, AtI, etc. The chemistry of astatine is practically not known because we have not sufficient quantities of astatine for study and also the half life of astatine isotopes are too short.

It would not. Be more reactive. This is a tricky question but basically chlorine is a smaller atom (it has fewer energy levels) so the attraction between the electrons and protons will be greater as they are closer together. This means that the protons have a close control over the electrons and they are not "loose." This makes it more reactive because because the nucleus has control over the electrons.

Not known. However, as inter-halogen compounds have been made with Bromine and Iodine, it is likely that Chlorine will form an inter-halogen compound with Astatine.
