TBR discusses how bromine has a lower bond dissociation energy than chlorine, but then goes on to say that chlorination reactions are much faster than bromination reactions. To me, these statements seem to contradict one another, but I know that I must be mistaken. Can someone please help explain why chlorination is faster than bromination even though it has a higher activation energy?
