HELLO FRIENDS,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In nature fluorine gas more reactive than chlorine gas because due to size of its atom. since size of atom of flourine is smaller outer shell is closer to the nucleus and due to smaller size if a new electrom come near to this atom nucleus will attract fastly.

Best of luck ;)

Answer: fluorine is more reactive than chlorine

Explanation: because it has less shell meaning the electrons in the outer shell are closer to the nucleus and the attraction is stronger and will be quicker to react, wanting to gain an electron. It is harder for chlorine to gain an electron (less attracted to the nucleus)
