Bromine has more nuclear charge as compared to iodine. So, bromine easily attracts an electron and hence more reactive.

Is xenon more or less reactive than bromine why?
Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
Does Iodine have less electron affinity than fluorine?
Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
Why group 7 elements get more reactive as you go down the group from fluorine to iodine?
There can not be any reason, because the premise is not true: Group 7 elements become less rather than more reactive from fluorine to iodine.
What would you observe if astatine solution is added to sodium bromide solution?
There would be no reaction because astatine is less reactive than bromine.
Is hydrogen recative?
Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper, but less reactive than Zinc which is less reactive than Magnesium which is less reactive than Potassium. Potassium is the most reactive of all, relatively speaking.
Why does a aqueous solution of iodine not react with sodium bromide?
Bromine is more reactive than iodine/bromine is higher in the activity series than iodine
Can iodine displace bromine?
No. Bromine is more reactive than iodine. Therefore, bromine will displace iodine.
Which is more reactive bromine or iodine?
It is because bromine is smaller in size than iodine and hence easily reacts. Another reason is that bromine is the more electronegative than iodine and hence it attracts the electrons very easily from other atoms to form bonds.
Why can't iodine be used to displace bromine from sodium bromide?
Iodine is lower in the halogen displacement series than bromine, i.e., iodine is less electronegative than bromine. However both chlorine and fluorine can displace bromine in sodium bromide, as they are more electronegative.
What is the equation of potassium bromide with aqueous iodine?
KBr + I2(aq) --> KBr + I2(aq) It does not react because bromine is more electronegative and reactive than iodine.
why electronegativity of iodine is more than bromine?
is it so? Bromine is more electronegetive than Iodine
Why is bromine selective?
Bromine is less reactive than chlorine (and much less so than fluorine) so it is selective when it comes to halogenation substitution reactions.
Is xenon more or less reactive than bromine why?
Xenon is less reactive. Bromine has 7 electrons in its valency shell and so readily forms a negative ion. Xenon has 8 electrons and so is inert.
Does Iodine have less electron affinity than fluorine?
Yes. It's true. Chlorine has the highest electron affinity, then Fluorine, Bromine and Iodine
Which halogen is more active chlorine bromine or iodine?
chlorine is more active than bromine which is more active than iodine
What elements bond with iodine?
it bonds with many elements but it is less reactive than the rest of the halogens
Why is the radius of an atom of iodine greater than the radius of bromine atom?
An iodine atom has one more principal energy level than a bromine atom. Therefore the radius of an iodine atom is greater than the latter.
