Group 7 Flashcards

1
Q

Describe the physical properties of the halogens at room temperature

A
  • Fluorine is a very pale yellow gas
  • Chlorine is a greenish gas
  • Bromine is an orange/ brown liquid which vaporises easily into an orange gas
  • Iodine is a black solid which vapoises on heating to a purple gas
  • All have swimming pool smell

Q

Why does fluorine have some different properties to the other halogens

A
  • F-F bond is weak
  • Due to fluorine atoms being very small so the non-bonding pairs of electrons on the outer shells are held so close together they begin to repel

Q

Describe the structure and bonding in the halogens and why the melting points of halogens increase down the group

A
  • Covalent structure: shared pair of electrons
  • Going down, more shells, so more shielding
  • Nuclear attraction gets weaker so requires more energy to gain an electron
