MCQ
he greater reactivity of $F_2$ is due to:
  • A
    Lower electron affinity of $F.$
  • Lower bond energy of $F - F$ bond.
  • C
    Higher electronegativity of $F.$
  • D
    Gaseous state of $F_2$.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Lower bond energy of $F - F$ bond.
The greater reactivity of $F_2$ is due to lower bond energy of $F - F$ bond and bond energy is lower because of charge repulsion between two $F$ atoms $($due to lower size of $F$ atom charge density is high and repulsion is very high so bond energy is low$)$ making its bond enthalpy lower..
