In the Periodic Table, the reactivity of the halogens that are found in Group 17 decreases as you go down the column of elements in this group. The first element of the group is fluorine, and it has the highest reactivity. The other elements in this group are chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

∙ 11y agoAs we move down the group, the reactivity of hologens decreases. This is so because the size of halogen atoms increases as we move down the group. Thus the attraction between nucleus and electrons of the outermost shell decreases which enhances its capability to form cations by loosing electrons and hence inhibits its capability to react with metals in order to complete its octet.
