Hii There!!!
Halogens are more reactive than hydrogen because, in case of halogens they have 7 valence electrons in their valence shell so they acquire 1 more electron to complete their octet attaining noble / inert gas configuration.
So, they show a chemical tendency by forming bonds and taking the electron from other atoms to attain a full set.
Therefore , it is highly reactive causing organic compounds and hydrogen gas to explode while reacting.
↪️ In case of halogen electron-electron repulsion is more as comapre to electron-electron repulsion between hydrogen atoms. So, halogens are more reactive.

anandaryan81:
but hydrogen also complete their dublet by gaining 1 electron
so i think its. not. a proper answer
Now check it again..
ok
