2.4 Group 7 - The Halogens Flashcards
What ions do halogens form?
The halogens will form ions with a 1- charge in their ionic compounds with metals
How do the halogen form covalent compounds?
The halogens form covalent compounds by sharing electrons with other non-metals
What can a more reactive halogen do to a less reactive halogen?
A more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halogen from a solution of one of it salts
What happens to the reactivity of the halogen is going down the group?
The reactivity of the halogens decreases going down the group
What are the elements in group 7 called?
The halogens
Why do halogens display of the halogens?
When a halogen is more reactive than another, it will displace the less reactive halogens ions
