The p-Block Elements - Part2

Solution:

Greater reactivity of $F_2$ than $CI_2 $ in aqueous solutions is not due to ionisation potential. This is because halogens $(Cl_2, F_2)$ are good oxidising agents i.e., their reactivity depend upon their ability to take up an electron and not to give any electron
