Q

Why does the boiling point increase down a group?

A

Due to the increased strength of the Van der Waals as the relative mass of molecules increases

Q

Why does electronegativity increase down the group?

A

The halogens are highly electronegative
Larger atoms attract less than smaller ones
Their outer electrons are further from the nucleus and more shielded

38
Q

Why won’t iodine displace either Cl- or Br- halide?

A

It is below chlorine and bromine in group 7 so it is less reactive

Q

Why is chlorine used in water treatment?

A

Chlorate ions kill bacteria

52
Q

Why is chlorine an important part of water treatment?

A

It kills disease-causing microorganisms
Prevents reinfection further down the supply
Prevents the growth of algae, eliminating bad tastes and smells and removing discolouration caused by organic compounds

53
Q

What are the risks of using chlorine in water treatment?

A

Chlorine is toxic
Harmful if chlorine gas is breathed in - irritates the respiratory system
Liquid chlorine causes chemical burns on the skin and eyes
