The non metal which is more reactive is bromine


Step-by-step explanation

Bromine is in group 17 ( group of halogens) which has one unfilled spot in its valence shell.

Krypton is group 18 ( groups of noble gases) which do not react with other element in normal condition due to their filled valence electron.

Therefore since bromine has unfilled valence shell it is more reactive than krypton.
