Q

explain the trend in boiling point as we go down group 7?

A
  • the boiling and melting point increases as we go down group 7
  • as molecules become larger down the group

Q

explain the trend in electronegativity as we go down group 7?

A
  • electronegativity decreases
  • this is due to a greater atomic radii
  • so there is greater shielding
  • so therefore less able to withdraw electron density from a covalent bond

Q

explain the trend in oxidising ability as we go down group 7?

A
  • oxidising ability decreases as we go down group 7 elements
  • due to increased atomic radii
  • so there is greater shielding
  • so the outer electron is attracted less strongly to the nucleus

Q

Explain what happens in displacement reactions with halide ions?

A
  • chlorine water displaces both potassium bromide to make an orange solution of bromine (Br2) and potassium iodide to make a brown solution of iodine (I2)
  • bromine water has no reaction with sodium chloride but displaces potassium iodide to make a brown solution of iodine (I2)
  • iodine has no reaction with the rest

Q

why can acidified silver nitrate not be used to identify Fluoride ions?

A

because silver fluoride which is formed is soluble in water, so solutions containing fluoride ions remain colourless

Q

why does the reducing power of halide ions increase as we go down the group?

A
  • reducing power of the halides increases as we go down the group
  • due to increasing atomic radii
  • there is greater shielding
  • so more able to donate an electron
