Group 7 Flashcards

1
Q

State and explain the trend in group 7 melting/boiling points

A

Increases because:- Halogens exist as non-polar diatomic molecules- Weak van der waals forces exist between the molecules (IMF’s) which are broken when boiled/melted- Induced dipole forces become stronger down the group as Mr increases this is because more electrons involved in the induced dipoles

Q

State and explain the trend in group 7 electronegativity

A

Decreases because:- Shielding increases - Effective nuclear charge decreases - Decreases its ability to attract a bonding pair of electronse.g. fluorine can form a stronger dipole than iodine

Q

Why do we add acidified silver nitrate when testing for halide ions?

A

The HNO3 neutralises and carbonate or hydroxide impurities present which interfere with the halide test.

30
Q

What happens if H2O is added to Cl2?

A

HCL and HCLO (chloric acid) is formed in a disproportionation reaction where Cl is both oxidised and reduced

31
Q

What is HClO used for?

A

HClO is antibacterial (oxidising agent) hence the use of chlorine in swimming pools
