List 2 properties of halogens

● Low melting and boiling points


● Exist as diatomic molecules

What is the trend in boiling
point down group 7? Why?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What is the trend in boiling point down group 7? Why?

Increases down the group because:


-size of atom increases as more occupied electron shells →
stronger London forces of attraction between molecules, take
more energy to break

What is the trend in reactivity
down group 7? Why?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What is the trend in reactivity down group 7? Why?

Reactivity decreases because:


● Atomic radius increases
● Electron shielding increases
● Ability to gain an electron and form 1- ions
decreases

What is the trend in oxidising
ability down the group? Why?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What is the trend in oxidising ability down the group? Why?

Decreases down group (Cl strongest, I weakest)


This is because Cl has the fewest occupied electron shells,
greatest force of attraction between outer electrons and
nucleus and thus is the easiest to gain electrons and be
reduced → best oxidising agent

What is the trend in reducing
ability of the halides down the
group? Why?

https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
https://bit.ly/pmt-edu https://bit.ly/pmt-cc
What is the trend in reducing ability of the halides down the group?
Why?

Increases down the group (Cl- weakest, I- strongest)


This is because I- has the most occupied electron shell so
outer electrons are further from the nucleus, weakest force of
attraction between outer electrons and positive charge of
nucleus and thus is the easiest to be oxidised and lose
electrons → best reducing agent
