⍟⍟Fluorine atoms are smaller than chlorine atoms, thus, it's possible for electrons to be closer to the nuclei of fluorine atoms and experience of stronger attractive force with a nuclei. This allows fluorine atoms to take electrons more easily than chlorine atoms, and so fluorine is more reactive than chlorine.........

The electron affinity of fluorine is less than chlorine . But florine is more reactive than chlorine due to the following reason .
1) Low dissociation energy of F2 molecule , and high hydration energy of F− ion.
2) The electronegativity of fluorine is more than that of chlorine .
