Understanding Halogen Reactivity in Aqueous Solutions

Enroll
aqueous iodine does not react with aqueous sodium bromide because iodine is less reactive than bromine in the halogen reactivity series, meaning it cannot displace bromine from its compounds. This is due to iodine's lower electronegativity and larger atomic size, which make it less effective at attracting electrons compared to bromine.
