Answer:

Chlorine is a very reactive non metals because this element don't form any known chemical compound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorine atoms have a lot of valance electrons without being complete on its own, so it has a greater need to seek it's conjugates. That's called electronegativity. Halogens are highly reactive because of their electronegativity.
