Q

Group 7

A
  • As you go down group 7 the boiling point increases
  • As you go down the group the electrons get further away from the nucleus. This means they experience less attraction so it is harder to gain an electron when the element reacts. At his means reactivity decreases down the group

Q

Fractional distillation

A

•Seperation of a liquid mixture to fractions differing in boiling point. Chemical compounds are separated by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of a the mixture will vaporise
