The halogen, which reacts very slowly with halogen is
Correct answer: A. Fluorine
- A. Fluorine
- B. Chlorine
- C. bromine
- D. iodine
Explanation
Fluorine's exceptional reactivity: Fluorine is the most reactive element among the halogens, and its high reactivity extends to reactions with other halogens.Slow reaction with halogens: However, even though fluorine can react with other halogens, these reactions tend to be relatively slow compared to its reactions with most other elements.Reason for slow reactions: This is because the other halogens (chlorine, bromine, and iodine) are also quite reactive, and their similar electronic configurations make it more challenging for fluorine to displace their electrons and initiate a reaction.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
