group 7 3.2.3 Flashcards
what colour does fluorine produce
Pale yellow gas
what colour is chlorine gas
Pale green gas
what’s the colour for bromine
a brown- orange liquid
what colour is iodine solid
grey solid
what’s the trend in boiling and melting point down g7
increases down the group
- molecules become larger so have more electrons and have larger van de waals forces
- as intermolecular forces gets larger more energy is needed to overcome the forces
what’s the trend in states from the top of the group to the bottom
gas at the top (F)
solid at the bottom (I)
what is electronegativity
the relative tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons in a covalent bond to itself
what’s the trend in electronegativity down the group
Decreases
•The atomic radii increases due to increasing number of shells.
• The nucleus is less able to attract the bonding pair of electrons
what’s the trend in electronegativity down the group
Decreases
•The atomic radii increases due to increasing number of shells.
• The nucleus is less able to attract the bonding pair of electrons
as we go down the group are the halogens more or less oxidising
less oxidising
which halogen does chlorine displace
Both bromide and iodine ions
which halogen does bromide displace
iodide ions
which halogen will iodide displace
None
what’s the colour of chlorine solution
Colourless
what’s the colour of bromine solution
yellow solution
what’s the colour of iodine solution
brown solution
what’s the reaction and colour change when chlorine displaces potassium bromide solution
yellow solution is made , Cl has displaced Br
Cl2 + 2Br- => 2Cl- + Br2
what’s the reaction and colour change when chlorine displaces potassium iodide
brown solution , Cl has displaced I
Cl2(aq) + 2I- => 2Cl-(aq) + I2 (aq)
what’s the reaction and colour change when bromine displaces potassium iodide
brown solution , Br has displaced I
Br2 (aq) + 2I-(aq) => 2Br-(aq) + I2(aq)
what is a disproportionation reaction
An element simultaneously oxidises and reduces
what type of reaction is used to make bleach ( NaClO)
Disproportionation
what’s the reaction to make bleach
2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(aq) => NaClO(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
what are the uses of bleach
- treating water
- bleaching paper and fabrics
- cleaning agents
why is chlorine added to water
- to kill bacteria
- used to treat drinking water and the water in swimming pools
