Q

Halogens exist as diatomic molecules. Explain

A

Sharing one pair of electrons in a covalent bond gives both atoms a full outer shell

Q

Why do the melting and boiling points increase as you go down group 7?

A

Due to the increase in the number of electrons in each atom as you go down the group.

Q

Why is more energy needed to overcome the molecules as you go down group 7?

A

More electrons mean there are greater intermolecular forces between the molecules, so more energy is needed to overcome them.

Q

Why do the halogens become less reactive as you move down group 7?

A

It gets harder to attract the extra electron to fill the outer shell when it’s further away from the nucleus

Q

What are the salts formed from a reaction between halogens and alkali metals called?

A

Metal halides

17
Q

See p 24 for equations for halogens reacting with alkali metals

A

All reactions between group 1 and group 7 elements follow this pattern - make sure you can write equations for any of them.

18
Q

Why do halogens higher up group 7 react more vigorously with alkali metals?

A

Because they are more reactive.

19
Q

Why do all halogens have a similar reaction?

A

Because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shells.

20
Q

Why does knowing how one halogen reacts help you to predict how other halogens will react?

A

Because they have similar reactions, since all halogens have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.

21
Q

To know what type of salt is formed by a halogen, just replace ‘ine’ with what?

A

‘ide’

22
Q

What type of salt does fluorine form?

A

Fluoride salts

23
Q

What type of salt does iodine form?

A

Iodide salts

24
Q

The melting point of chlorine (Cl2) is -101.5 degree C.

Predict whether bromine (Br2) would be a solid, a liquid or a gas at -101.5 degree C. Explain your answer.

(2 marks)

A

Bromine would be a solid at this temperature (1 mark)

The melting point of the halogens increase as you go down the group, so at the melting point of chlorine, bromine would still be solid (1 mark)

25
Q

Writ a balanced symbol equation for the reaction between sodium metal (Na) and iodine (I2)

A

2Na + l2 -> 2Nal

1 mark for correct reactants and products, 1 mark for correctly balanced equation
