If both Assertion and Reason are CORRECT and Reason is the CORRECT explanation of the Assertion. explanation: ICl is more reactive than I2 because the I-Cl bond in ICl is weaker than the I-I bond in I2. The weaker I-Cl bond breaks more easily, making ICl more reactive than I2. This is because interhalogen bonds (I-Cl) are generally weaker than the bonds between identical halogen atoms (I-I) due to differences in bond strength and bond dissociation energy.
