Here's why:
* Reactivity of Halogens: Halogens become less reactive as you move down the group in the periodic table. This is due to decreasing electronegativity and increasing atomic size.
* Order of Reactivity: The order of reactivity for the halogens is:
* Fluorine (F) - Most reactive
* Chlorine (Cl) - Second most reactive
* Bromine (Br) - Third most reactive
* Iodine (I) - Fourth most reactive
* Astatine (At) - Least reactive
