Group 7 Flashcards
What type of molecule are halogens?
diatomic molecules
What is the appearance of fluorine at room temperature?
pale yellow gas
What is the appearance of chlorine at room temperature?
greenish gas
What is the appearance of bromine at room temperature?
red-brown liquid
What is the appearance of iodine at room temperature?
black solid
How does atomic radius change down the halogens?
atoms bigger
each element has extra filled main level to previous
What is the trend in electronegativity down the halogens?
decreases
Why does electronegativity decrease down the group?
shared electrons become further from halogen nucleus
increased shielding from inner shells
How does melting and boiling points change down Group 7?
Increase
Why does the melting and boiling point increase down Group 7?
atoms are larger
more electrons
stronger van der Waals forces
How does oxidising ability change down Group 7?
decreases from F>Cl>Br>I
Are halogens reduced or oxidised?
reduced
