All halogen properties

A

Diatomic molecules (F2)
Intramolecular bonds - covalent
Intermolecular - I’d-I’d.

19
Q

Halogens oxidizing agents / reducing agents?

A

Oxidizing,, tend to remove electrons from other elements

20
Q

Reactions with silver ions and halide ions

A

Fluorine - none
Chlorine - white silver chloride
Bromine - cream silver bromide
Iodine - yellow silver iodide

21
Q

Anode and cathode

A

Anode =+

Cathode -

22
Q

Anion & Cation

A

Anion -

Cation +

23
Q

Storage and transport of fluorine

A

Fluorine is very reactive, too reactive to store. Made in situ when needed by electrolysing liquid hydrogen fluoride.

24
Q

Difference between being polar and being polarized

A

Polar - permanent dipole

Polarized - dipole

25
Q

Id- id

A

Electron density unevenly distributed at any one time -instantaneous dipole. Movement of electron cloud.
If another molecule is close it can become induced as its electron cloud is attracted to the positive end of the other electron cloud. = induced dipole.

26
Q

Pd-pd

A

Difference in electronegativity

27
Q

Electronegativity definition

A

Degree to which an atom of an element attracts electrons.
F> O> Cl> Br
N> I> S> C > H

28

R-Hal —> R+ and Hal-
Forms carbocation

30
Q

Substitution reactions with halogenoalkanes

A

Nucleophilic substitutions. C-Hal bond breaks and is replaces by X-

31
Q

nucelophile defintnion

A

One or more lone pairs of electrons they can donate to form new bonds

32
Q

Shaken with sodium hydrgoencarbonate remove acidic impurities
Chloroalkane layer ran off again
Anhydrous sodium sulfate is added to remove water
Chloroalkane purified by distillation

35

A

Batch - placed in vessel and react. Once over, taken out machine cleaned and made ready for next batch.

Continuous - starting material regularly fed into one end of plant and product emerges at other.
