Q

Describe Ammonium chloride

A

Compound of ammonia containing the chloride radical
When heated undergoes thermal decomp to form ammonia and chloride
Recombine at cooler parts
Sublimination - same ammonium chloride is re obtained

Q

Why does reactivity of halogens decrease as you go down the group

A

Atomic radius decreases so nuclear attraction decreases which makes losing an electron easier and harder to gain an electron
Atoms get bigger reducing attraction

Q

Describe electronegativity across a period

A

Increase due to nuclear attraction increasing and so does the attraction between shared electrons
