Halogens more Flashcards
Fluorine
very pale yellow gas. Highly reactive.
Chlorine
greenish, reactive gas, poisonous in high concentration
Bromine
red liquid, that gives off dense brown/orange poisonous fumes
Iodine
shiny grey solid sublimes to purple gas
trend in melting point and boiling point
Increase down the group, molecules become larger and have more electrons and so have larger van der waal forces.
trends in electronegativity
decreases- the atomic radius increases due to the increasing number of shells. Nucleus less able to attract
Oxidising strength trend in halogens
decreases down the group
what are oxidising agents
Oxidising agents are electron acceptors
Chlorine with potassium chloride
Very pale green, no reaction
Chlorine with potassium bromide
yellow solution, Cl has displaced Br
Chlorine with potassium iodide
Brown solution, Cl has displaced I
Bromine with potassium chloride
Yellow so no reaction
Bromine with potassium bromide
Yellow solution, no reaction
Bromine with potassium iodide
Brown solution, Br has displaced I
What does the colour in the solution suggest
Shows which free halogen is present in solution.
Fluoride with silver nitrate
no precipitate
Chlorides with silver nitrate
white precipitate
