the higher the atomic number, the more shells an atom has. the electrons in the outer shell are more reactive as they have a weaker attraction to the nucleus as they are furthest away from the nucleus.

The valence electrons in atoms are shielded from the attractive pull of the nucleus by inner shells of electrons. This is called the shielding effect. Do you think the reactivity of the halogens relates
