Molecules - pair of atoms
Group 7 trends as you go down the group are ?
Less reactive as you go down the group because it’s harder to gain an electron because it is further away from the nucleus
Higher melting and boiling points
Higher relative atomic masses
How do halogens share electrons ?
Via covalent bonding with other mom-metals to achieve a full outer shell
What do ionic ones do halogens form with metals
1- ions called halides
Forming an ionic structure
What happens with halogen displacements ?
