Why is it technically inaccurate to say that the decrease in reactivity of halogens is due to decreasing electronegativity?
I came across the following information in this post.
Below the infographic there is a paragraph with a disclaimer:
As another disclaimer, the reactivity of the halogens decreasing down the group ...

How can I relate the reactivity series to electronegativity and ionization energy?
I am trying to figure out how the reactivity series comes about. My understanding is that elements with a higher electronegativity will be more reactive than elements with a lower electronegativity, ...
