Chromium reacts directly with fluorine, F2, at 400°C and 200-300 atmospheres to form chromium(VI) fluoride, CrF6.
Cr(s) + 3F2(g) → CrF6(s) [yellow]
Under milder conditions, chromium(V) fluoride, CrF5, is formed.
2Cr(s) + 5F2(g) → 2CrF5(s) [red]
Under still milder conditions, chromium metal reacts with the halogens fluorine, F2, chlorine, Cl2, bromine, Br2, and iodine, I2, to form the corresponding trihalides chromium(III) fluoride, CrF3, chromium(III) chloride, CrCl3, chromium(III) bromide, CrBr3, or chromium(III) iodide, CrI3.
2Cr(s) + 3F2(g) → 2CrF3(s) [green]
2Cr(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2CrCl3(s) [red-violet]
2Cr(s) + 3Br2(g) → 2CrBr3(s) [very dark green]
2Cr(s) + 3I2(g) → 2CrI3(s) [very dark green]
Yes. Like aluminium, it reacts so fast it forms an oxide layer on contact, which fortunately prevents further corrosion.
Chromium has no reaction with air.
Oxygen stays as diatomic molecules in the atmosphere. These 2 oxygen atoms are bond with a double bond. So reactivity of oxygen is low.
A substance that has high reactivity displaces dissolved oxygen.

reactivity, the tendency of an element to react with another substance is know n as its reactivity. the more the capacity of an element to react with another substance the more will be its reactivity, the series of elements arranged in their decreasing reactivity is known as reactivity series.
Phosphorus. Due to its high reactivity, this element can't be found in its free state.
Reactivity is a term related to the aggressiveness (or not) of an element to combine with other elements. Oxygen, Chlorine, and Fluorine are among the most aggressive.
William Brian Jennings has written: 'Conformation and reactivity of tricarbonyl (arene) chromiums'
Chromium is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 51.996.
ReactivityThe ease and speed with which an element combines with other elements and compounds is called the "reactivity" of the element.
There is no good correlation lies between the element reactivity and the atomic mass.
Oxygen stays as diatomic molecules in the atmosphere. These 2 oxygen atoms are bond with a double bond. So reactivity of oxygen is low.
A substance that has high reactivity displaces dissolved oxygen.
The most abundant element on earth is Oxygen. But due to its high reactivity, most oxygen occurs in combined state, generally in oxides.

because the k is the reactivity of similar chemical
No. In a displacement reaction, that is exactly what happens. If an element low down in the reactivity series is in a compound, and you add an element that is higher placed in the reactivity series. The more reactive element will displace the less reactive element in the compound.Example:Copper Sulphate - Copper is low in the reactivity series and is in a compoundSodium + Copper Sulphate - Sodium is higher in the reactivity series than copper, and is in it's pure elemental form.Copper + Sodium Sulphate - The Sodium that is higher in the reactivity series has switched places with the Copper, which is lower in the reactivity series.FULL EQUATION:Sodium + Copper Sulphate --> Copper + Sodium Sulphate
