Q

What causes the trend in the Halogen’s boiling points?

A

As you go down it increases as there are more electrons. There are more Van Der Waals forces.

Q

What causes the trend in Reactivity/Oxidising power for the Halogens?

A
  • The atomic Radius Increases
  • The electron shielding increases
  • This cancels out a higher atomic charge
  • So the ability to gain an electron decreases

18
Q

In a displacement reaction what happens to the stronger oxidising agent?

A

It forms ions. It becomes part of the compound.

19
Q

Define a Displacement reaction.

A

A displacement reaction is a reaction where a more-reactive/stronger oxidising agent displaces a less-reactive/ weaker oxidising agent from an aqueous solution of the latters ions.

20
Q

Define a disproportionation reaction.

A

Where an element is both Oxidised and Reduced in a redox reaction.

21
Q

What is a reaction where the same element is both Oxidised and Reduced?

A

Disproportionation.

22
Q

Why is Chlorine added to water?

A

Because it kills bacteria.

23
Q

What is the danger of adding Chlorine to water?

A

It can form toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons.

24
Q

What are the products of Chlorine and Water?

A

Two acids:

  • HCl-Hydrochloric Acid
  • HClO-Chloric (I) Acid
25
Q

What are the products of Chlorine and Aqueous NaOH?

A
  • NaCl
  • NaClO
  • H20
26
Q

What is the formula for Bleach?

A

NaClO

27
Q

How do you test for Halide ions?

What is the formula for Silver Nitrate?

A

AgNO3

29
Q

What is a Silver Ion?

A

Ag 1+

30
Q

When a Halide and Silver Nitrate react what happens?
