Question

Would atoms of chlorine or atoms of sulfur would be more likely to attract electrons and, therefore, be more reactive? Please include explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Chlorine

Explanation:

Halogens like Chlorine needs 1 electron to get its stability by attaining 8 electron in their outermost shell.

while chalcogens like sulphur needs 2 electron to get its stability by attaining 8 electron in their outermost shell.

since Chlorine needs 1 electron it will be more reactive.

And electronegativity i.e, tendency of attracting electron is higher in halogens than chalcogens in

same period respectively
