Solution
The high reactivity of halogens is due to their low dissociation energy and high electron affinity.
Explanation:
Halogens are highly reactive because they have low bond dissociation energy, which makes their X-X bonds easy to break, and they also have high negative electron gain enthalpy, giving them a strong tendency to gain electrons quickly.
