Group 17 Flashcards
What halogens are gases at room temperature?
Fluorine
Chlorine
What halogen is a liquid at room temperature?
Bromine
What halogen is a solid at room temperature?
Iodine
What is the normal oxidation number of halogens in a molecule?
-1
What forces are between halogen molecules?
LDF
What happens to melting/boiling point as you go down the group?
Increases
Why does melting/boiling point increase as you go down the group?
More electrons, stronger instantaneous/induced dipoles, stronger LDF, more energy needed to break forces.
What increases down the group?
Boiling point
Atomic radius
Reactivity (reducing)
What decreases down the group?
Electronegativity
Reactivity (oxidising)

What is the colour of iodine vapour?
Purple
What is the colour of bromine liquid?
Dark red
What is the colour of iodine solid?
