Group 17 Flashcards
Electron configuration
ns2 np5
Physical state at 298K
Fluorine - Pale yellow gas
Chlorine - Pale yellowish green gas
Bromine - Reddish Brown liquid
Iodine - Purplish-black solid
Colour intensity down the group due to
increases due to increase in metallic properties of elements
Physical properties
Simple diatomic molecule
reactive non-metal
not found in the elemental state in nature
nuclear charge
volatility
mp/bp
Solubility in water
constant
decrease
increase
sparingly soluble
Atomic and ionic radii down the group why
increase due to extra electron shells
Effective nuclear charge down the group
constant
volatility down the group and why
decrease due to increase in number of electrons and can de Waals forces
Solubility and exceptions and why
Sparingly soluble because they cant form hydrogen bond
Except for Iodine due to formation of water-soluble ion I3-
Fluoride because it can form hydrogen bonds
and chloric acid when exposed to strong sunlight
What is bond energy
Energy required to break a particular covalent bond per mole of the bond
bond energy down the group and exception
decrease due to increase in atomic radius making covalent bond longer and weaker
except Fluorine to Chlorine due to closeness of atoms which result in repulsion between non-bonding electron
Oxidising strength of group 17 in general and down the group
All powerful oxidising agents and oxidising strength decrease down the group
What is oxidising strength indicated by
positive standard electrode potentials
Halides react with hydrogen to form
Hydrogen halide
What is reaction between hydrogen and halide
redox reaction
