How does reactivity trend change in the halogens
Creases since there is more shielding and decrease in affective nuclear charge making it harder to gain an electron
How does melting and boiling point change down th halogens
INcreases due more subatomic particles and more van der waals to break
What is disproportionation
Both oxidised and reduced in an equation
Why is chlorine added to water
Kills bacteria like cholera
Prevents algae growth
Removes bad tastes
