Why does ICl is more reactive than I2?

This is because inter- halogen compounds are in general more reactive than halogens due to weaker inter- halogen X-X bond than X-X bond.

So, I2 is more stable and less reactive than ICl.

the I-I bond is stronger than I-Cl bond.... hence ICl is more reactive

Due to the weaker I-Cl bond, the release of halogens from I-Cl is more easily possible than I2

THERE IS LARGE ELECTRONEGATIVE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN I AND CI SO THE BOND ICI IS WEAKER THAN I2 AND INTER HALOGEN COMPOUNDS ARE MORE REACTIVE THAN HALOGENS
