allow 1 mark for balancing their equation with an
incorrect product
therefore chlorine can gain an electron (into the outer shell) more easily

if no other marks awarded allow 1 mark for
correct trend in reactivity in Group 7
do not accept reference to incorrect particles
e.g. chloride atom
max 2 if outer shell / level not mentioned
‘it’ refers to chlorine
allow converse reasons for bromine being less
reactive
