Q

how London forces are formed between diatomic halogen molecules

A

identical atoms mean pair of electrons are shared equally between (therefore on average aren’t polar). fluctuations in charge result in a temporary dipole. if molecule on left forms an instantaneous dipole, another dipole is induced on right, producing a force of attraction (instantaneous dipole-induced dipole attraction).

Q

way to make halide colors more distinctive

A

add an organic solvent such as cyclohexane as halogens are more soluble than in water so will dissolve in upper layer where colors will be more distinctive

Q

why is chlorine most reactive of halogens?

A

atom is smaller so outer electrons are closer to nucleus

smallest amount of shells and so shielding is reduced
