In most cases, chlorine is more reactive than bromine. This occurs because chlorine has a higher electronegativity than bromine. Thus, chlorine tends to take electrons from other substances more readily than bromine, and thus is more reactive.

Why bromine does not react with aqueous potassium chloride?
Chlorine is more reactive than bromine thus bromine is unable to displace chlorine to form potassium bromide.
Which halogen is more active chlorine bromine or iodine?
chlorine is more active than bromine which is more active than iodine
Why is chlorine more reactive than sulphur?
why is chlorine more reactive than sulphur? it is not an answer but am asking what is the answer to it please
Chlorine Gas is bubbled through a calcium bromide Solution what type of reaction is made?
Chlorine is a more reactive halogen than bromine, therefore, when chlorine gas is bubbled through a calcium bromide solution, the chlorine will take the place of the bromine. This is called an anionic single replacement (displacement) reaction. Cl2(g) + CaBr2(aq) --> Br2(l) + CaCl2(aq)
How does bromine's atomic radius compare to chlorine's?
Bromine's atomic radii is larger than that of chlorine.
Why bromine does not react with aqueous potassium chloride?
Chlorine is more reactive than bromine thus bromine is unable to displace chlorine to form potassium bromide.
How is bromine obtaines from nature?
Bromine is obtained by oxidising naturally occuring bromides with chlorine gas. This approach exploits the fact that chlorine is more reactive than bromine.
What will displace bromine from aqueous calcium bromide?
Something more reactive than bromine. Chlorine or fluorine would do it.
Aluminum bromide plus chlorine yields aluminum chloride and bromide?
Yes. Chlorine is more reactive than bromine.
Why chlorine is highly reactive than other halogens?
It isn't. Fluorine is more reactive. However, Chlorine is more reactive than Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. It is all to do with molecular size. Fluorine wants to get to a stable 10 electrons to be like Neon more than Chlorine wants to get to get 18 lectrons to be like Argon. This is because the valence/bonding electrons are closer to the nucleus in Fluorine than they are Chlorine and thus more strongly attracted.
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.
Which halogen is more active chlorine bromine or iodine?
chlorine is more active than bromine which is more active than iodine
Why is chlorine more reactive than sulphur?
why is chlorine more reactive than sulphur? it is not an answer but am asking what is the answer to it please
Which is more reactive francium or chlorine?
Francium is considered more reactive than Chlorine.
Why iodine is less reactive than bromine?
Bromine has more nuclear charge as compared to iodine. So, bromine easily attracts an electron and hence more reactive.
Is chlorine more reactive than aluminum?
Yes, chlorine is a very reactive chemical element.
What is more reatice fluorine or chlorine?
Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine.
