Why is I2 l...

Question

Why is $I_{2}$ less reactive than $I C l$ ?

Open in App

Solution

$I_{2}$ is less reactive than $I C l$ as $I - I$ bond is stronger than $I - C l$ bond. $I_{2}$ form covalent bonds which are stronger than inter-halogen compound and weak bond obviously is more reactive than the stronger bond.
