Group 7 Flashcards
What are the Halogens? (fluorine, chlorine, iodine)
Reactive non-metallic elements of the p-block
what is the definition of volatility?
How easily a substance turns from a liquid into a gas
what happens to volatility as you go down the group?
The elements become less volatile as you go down the group
what happens to intermolecular forces as we descend group 7?
The intermolecular forces between the molecules of the halogens increases
what happens to induced dipole dipole interactions as you go down the group?
-they increase due to the molecules containing more electrons
-More energy is required to break the induced interactions between the molecules
what is the bond type in the halogen molecule?
Covalent
What do you halogens exist as?
Diatomic molecules
What is the structure of the halogens?
Simple molecular
what happens to boiling point as you go down the group? (7)
Increases
What happens to the intensity of the colour of the halogens, as you go down the group?
Increases
why would astatine be expected to react similarly to other halogens?
-they all have similar properties
What happens to an oxidising agent?
Gets reduced
what does a halogen atom readily accept an electron to form?
-a halide ion with a full outer shell of electrons (this is a stable arrangement)
what do all halogens act as?
oxidising agents
what is the most powerful oxidising agent?
fluorine
what happens to oxidising power as you go down group 7?
-Decreases- this is because as you go down nuclear attraction decreases as there is more shielding and shells making it harder to lose an electron
what colour is produced when chlorine is placed in an aqueous solution?
pale green
what colour is produced when bromine is placed in an aqueous solution?
orange
what colour is produced when iodine is placed in an aqueous solution?
brown
what colour is produced when chlorine is placed in an organic solvent ?
pale green
what colour is produced when bromine is placed in an organic solvent?
orange/brown
what colour is produced when iodine is placed in an organic solvent ?
purple
What is the displacement reaction?
reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of the latter’s ions
What can the decrease in the reactivity of the elements as you go down the group be demonstrated by?
-Displacement reactions of aqueous halides using chlorine, bromine and iodine
What are all the types of demonstration observations?
chlorine water, bromine water, and iodine solution with chloride ions, bromide ions and iodide ions
what is the demonstration observation between chlorine water and chloride ions?
No change
what is the demonstration observation between chlorine water and bromide ions?
orange
what is the demonstration observation between chlorine water and iodide ions?
brown
what is the demonstration observation between bromine water and chloride ions?
Orange
what is the demonstration observation between bromine water and bromide ions?
No change
what is the demonstration observation between bromine water and iodide ions?
Brown
