Halogens Flashcards
What is fluorine at room temperature?
Pure yellow gas
What is chlorine at room temperature?
Green gas
What is bromine at room temperature?
Red/ brown liquid
What is iodine at room temperature?
Black solid
What is astatine?
Solid
What are halogens?
Diatomic
What do halogens form?
Halides
What are the trends of Electronegativity?
Decreases down group 7
This is because more full shells and increase shielding and increased atomic radius.
What are the trend of boiling point?
Increases as you go down a group
Explain. Why boiling point increases as you go down halogens
More electrons is stronger van der waal s forces which means more energy is required to break them.
What are trends in oxidising ability?
Decreases as you go down the group
Which halogen is the strongest oxidising agent?
Florine
What are the trends in reducing ability?
Increases down a group
Which ha,Ogden is the strongest reducing agent?
Iodine
Identification of Halide ions
Add dilute nitric acid
Add silver nitrate.
