Yes, because interhalogen bonds are weaker than diatomic halogen bonds except for F2. it is due to their differences in electronegativities. A substance like ICl is more reactive than iodine because the electronegativity difference polarise the bond between iodine and chlorine and therefore breaks more easily compared with I2.
Halogen fluorides are all very reactive and act as strong fluorinating agents. CIF3 is as strong fluorinating agent as is elemental fluorine.
The electric conductivity of solid and liquid interhalogen compounds is considerably higher than that of halogens,

interhalogens compounds are more reactive than halogen because due to different electronegativity in interhalogen compound they are prone to hydrolysis and ionize to give polyatomic ions, so A-X bond in interhalogen compound is weaker than X-X bond in dihalogen.
