Question

Is iodine highly reactive?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Iodine($\mathrm{I}$) is a reactive element belonging to the halogen family of elements, which are known to be highly reactive in nature.

1. On the other hand, iodine is the least reactive element in this group, but it is also the most electropositive.
2. In chemical reactions, there is a greater tendency to lose or donate electrons and form positive ions.

Hence, iodine is highly reactive.
