Allen Henderson · Answer 1

bromine is more reactive non-metal.

Ismael Leach · Answer 2

bromine is more reactive non-metal.

Explanation:

Both the elements have to gain 1 electron but the size of bromine is less than the size of astatine. And therefore, the tendency of accepting an electron by bromine is more than the tendency of astatine. Hence, bromine is more reactive non-metal.
