topic 4b: halogens Flashcards
(46 cards)
f2 at room temperature
pale yellow gas
cl2 at room temperature
pale green gas
br2 at room temperature
red liquid with orange vapours
i2 at room temperature
grey solid
sublimes to purple gas
melting point and boiling point down group 7
- INCREASES
- more electrons
- stronger london forces
- more energy required to separate molecules
electronegativity down group 7
- decreases
- atomic radii increase
- more shells, more shileding
- greater distance from positive nucleus to electrons
- weaker ESA
oxidising strength down group
DECREASES. ie fluroine is strongest oxidising agent
cl displaces
br and i
br displaces
i only
i displaces
NO ONE
- weakest oxidising agent
colour of solution when CHLORINE is displaced
colourless
colour of organic solvent when chlorine is displaced
colourless
colour of solution when bromine is displaced
yellow
colour of solution when iodine is displaced
brown solution
colour of orhanic solution when bromine dispalced
yellow
colour of organic solvent when iodine displaced
PURPLE
iodine oxidising power
WEAKEST
cl2 + h2o
hcl + hclo
chlorine with water tests
- ## damp blue litmus / UI goes red (and then litmus bleached)
cl2 + COLD DILUTE NaOH
nacl + naclo + h2o
cl2 HOT CONCENTRATED NaOH
3cl2 + 6naoh = 5nacl + naclo3 +3h2o
group 1 fluorides and chlorides + acid
- acid base reaction
- h2so4 not a strong enough oxidising agent
reactions of group 1 halides + acids the halides act as
reducing agents therefore NaI is the strongest reducing agent
effect of too much HClO
- corrosive, toxic etc
