Are halogens more reactive than actinides?

Halogens are generally more reactive than actinides. Halogens are a group of elements known for their high reactivity due to their ability to easily gain an electron and form negative ions. Actinides, on the other hand, are a series of radioactive elements that tend to be less reactive overall.

Is halogen an element belonging to group 17 of the periodic table?

halogens are the element placed in the 17th group of the period table. they have valency 1 and are the most reactive and the most electronegative elements.Halogens include flourine,chlorine,bromine,iodine and astatine (the radioactive element) their electronegativity decreases down the group. halogens are also called as salt forming elements.
