If they are more reactive, I would speculate it is due to their differences in electronegativities. The greater the difference, the more stable the compound. Electronegativities decrease as you go from F to I. For example, ClF3 reacts more violently than F2, yet IF7 is chemically inert.

Halogens have highreactivity.
All halogens are soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons like dichloromethane. Since the halogens can interchange, the reaction will be determined by electronegativity. The more electronegative, or less reactive halogen, will be isolated.
Halogens.
Halogens are unique because they are very reactive non-metals. "Halogens" is a Greek word meaning salt producers.
The most reactive nonmetals are the halogens in group 17 of the periodic table.
No actinides are more reactive
Yes, halogens are extremely reactive.
No. More reactive halogens will replace less reactive ones in a compound. This is because a more reactive halogen is more stable in a compound relative to a less reactive one, while a less reactive halogen is relatively more stable in its elemental form.
fluorine is the most reactive
The most reactive halogens - fluorone and chlorine - are in the upper part of the group.
The Halogens. Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine, with Fluorine being the most reactive.
Group 17 (known as Halogens)
Halogens have highreactivity.
No, halogens are reactive however and can be dangerous.
Noble gases have completely filled orbitals and hence are generally chemically inert. Halogens are highly reactive as they need one more electron to complete octet.
Halogens among halogens fluorine is most reactive
The most reactive family of nonmetals is the halogen family.
