Question

Provide a hypothesis based on the atomic/electronic structure of the halogen atoms that explains your claim for the reactivity trends in the halogen group. HINT: What is different about the valence electrons in these different atoms to cause the reactivity pattern? (To simplify the question, you can consider halogens as separate neutral atoms; e.g., Ben as 2Br.) In your explanation, you must include the concepts of core charge and electron shells.
