Question

in a replacement reaction, which nonmetal would replace chlorine? (1 point) iodine astatine bromine fluorine

Explanation:

In a replacement reaction, a more reactive non - metal can replace a less reactive non - metal. Fluorine (\(F\)) is more reactive than chlorine (\(Cl\)). The reactivity of halogens (group 17 elements) decreases down the group. Fluorine is above chlorine in the periodic table, so it is more reactive. Iodine (\(I\)) and bromine (\(Br\)) are below chlorine, so they are less reactive than chlorine. Astatine (\(At\)) is also below chlorine and is less reactive.

Answer:

fluorine
