Question:
When chlorine reacts with potassium bromide, it displaces bromine. Why is it more reactive? (3 marks)
Author: yxng.edxnAnswer:
Chlorine is more reactive than bromine because its electrostatic force of attraction between the nucleus and outer electron is stronger since its atom is smaller. This means that it can gain an electron easier, making it more reactive than bromine.
