Which halogen is more active chlorine bromine or iodine?

chlorine is more active than bromine which is more active than iodine


Is iodine a positive or negative charge?

No, nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine. Electronegativity of nitrogen= 3.04 Electronegativity of Iodine = 2.66


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.


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.


Which has lowest electronegativity iodine or chlorine?

iodine has lower electronegativity than chlorine


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.


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.


Is chlorine more electronegative than iodine?

Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.


Why is iodine larger than bromine?

Iodine's electron configuration is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7; bromine's is 2, 8, 18, 7. At the simplest level of modelling there is one more electron shell occupying space in an iodine atom than in one of bromine.


Why are bromine and iodine denser than fluorine and chlorine?

theyhave more neutrons and protons
