Q
What are the characteristics of halogens?
A
they covalently bond because they are non metals
they are simple covalent structures
the lower u go the more intermolecular forces they have and the more energy it will take to boil them so that means the lower you go the higher thew melting point
all diatomic as they are not stable if they are monotomic they do not have a full outer shell and they share one electron
the more you go down the less reactive they are as the attraction of the electron and the nucleus*** is weaker
colors go from light to dark from top to bottom
