Gcse Chemistry help
Hi, could someone explain why fluorine is more reactive than chlorine? It is a 3 mark question.
Chlorine gains an electron less easily than Fluorine.
• Because Cl has a greater distance between its nucleus and outermost electron
• And because Cl has increased shielding by its internal electrons
• So, Cl has weaker electrostatic forces of attraction
Thus, Chlorine is less reactive than Fluorine.
(I'd assume the bullet points are what you'd get the marks for.)
