Topic 5 Flashcards
What group are halogens in
Group 7
Halogens have…….properties
Similar
Name properties of chlorine(halogen)
Fairly reactive
Poisonous
Dense green gas
Name properties of bromine
Dense
Poisonous
Orange liquid
Name properties of iodine
Dark gray
Crystallised solid
What do halogens when react with metals form
Metal halides
E.g metals iron, aluminium
What do halogens form when reacted with hydrogen
Hydrogen halides
Are halogens soluble or insoluble and what do they form in water
Soluble
Form Acidic solutions
The higher up group 7 the…(halogens)
More reactive as outer shell nearer to nucleus
Pull apart from positive nucleus is greater which attracts extra electrons more strongly
How do more reactive halogens displace less reactive ones in reactions
When halides dissolve in water halide ions are free to react
More reactive halogen reacts with a solution containing halide ions it will “push out”(displace) less reactive halogen
How are Nobel gases seen at room temperature
Are all colourless gases
Why are very few Nobel gases reactive
Because have full outer shells
What happens to the boiling points as you go down the group
They increase
How where Nobel gases discovered
When chemists noticed that the density of nitrogen made in chemical reactions was different to that of nitrogen taken from the air
What is argon used for and why (Noble gas)
Is inert and non flammable so used in filament lamps to stop filament burning away
Protects metals being welded as inert atmosphere stops the hot metal reacting with oxygen
