18
Q

What are other properties of iodine?

A

Sublimes, releases purple fumes

19
Q

What forms when halogens react with metals?

A

Ionic compounds

20
Q

When halogens react with metals to form ionic compounds, they change from halogens to…

A

…halides.

21
Q

True or false: Halogens get more reactive down the group.

A

False: they get less reactive

22
Q

Why do halogens get less reactive down the group?

A

Atoms have more electron shells, so the extra electron is further from the nucleus, so its attraction to the nucleus is weaker, making it harder for the atom to gain the extra electron.

23
Q

What is the chemical test for chlorine?

A

Damp blue litmus paper turns white. This is because chlorine acts as a bleaching agent, so it removes the colour from the paper.
