The electronegativity of the halogens decreases in the order F > Cl > Br > I. And, the bond energy of the H-X bond also decreases in the same order from fluorine to iodine. Thus, as the electronegativity of the bonding atom increases, the bond energy also shows an increasing trend.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The more electronegative the element the more reactive it is and the more strong the bond would be

Because it would want to complete it's outermost shell by all means
