Group 7 - The Halogens (2) Flashcards
As the molecules get larger towards the bottom of the group, the melting and boiling points _________
Increase
The name halogen means salt producing. When they react with metals, these elements produce a wide range of salts such as:
Flouride Sodium Chloride Silver bromide Potassium iodide
The halogens are non-metallic elements with _____________ molecules: F₂, Cl₂
Diatomic
True or false: flourine and chlorine are gases
True
Is bromine a solid, liquid or a gas
Liquid
Is iodine a solid, liquid or gas
Solid
What colour is flourine
Yellow
What colour is chlorine
Green (in small quantities it’s fairly yellowish green)
What colour is liquid bromine and its vapour
Dark red liquid - red/brown vapour
Are halogens metals
No
What colour is solid iodine and its vapour
Dark grey - purple vapour
When the halogens are solid (eg. _________ at room temperature) their crystals will be brittle
Iodine
Is bromine corrosive
Yes
The higher up group 7 an element is, the _________ reactive it is. Why?
More because the shell with missing electron is nearer to the nucleus, so the pull from the positive nucleus is greater
Halogens can combine with hydrogen to form hydrogen halides E.g …
Hydrogen chloride
Hydrogen bromide
