Chlorine is very reactive because it is a halogen (Group VII of the Periodic Table) and it does not have a filled outermost energy level. Argon is unreactive because it is a noble gas (Group VIII of the Periodic Table). Its outermost energy level is full.

Is chlorine more reactive with oxygen than argon?

Yes. Argon is one of the noble gases with a valence configuration of 8 electrons. All of the noble gases are the least reactive elements.


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.
